Passing the Torch: The Next Chapter of ASB

4/10/2026

Each spring at Marymount, one of the most meaningful Community gatherings marks the transition of student leadership. On Monday, April 6, Associated Student Body (ASB) President Avery F. ’26 led her final Community before passing the torch to the 2026–2027 ASB, alongside Vice President Scarlet G. ’26.

This annual tradition is more than just a change in roles. It reflects leadership being recognized, relationships are honored, and the next group of student leaders steps forward with the support of those who came before them. As part of the ceremony, each incoming ASB member received a gift from her predecessor—a small but meaningful gesture that symbolizes continuity, mentorship, and the shared responsibility of leadership at Marymount.

The incoming 2026-2027 ASB represents a group of student leaders ready to build on that foundation.

As outgoing and incoming leaders spoke to one another, the focus of the morning shifted to the impact of leadership—how it is experienced, learned, and carried forward. Scarlet, speaking to Amelia, encouraged her to step confidently into the role: “Never be afraid to use your voice… I have so much faith that you and Liza will accomplish everything you set your mind to.” Amelia reflected on the example Scarlet set before her, sharing, “From my freshman year, you’ve always been someone I’ve looked up to… Through your leadership, I now have a clear understanding of what is expected of me.”

Avery, addressing Liza, acknowledged both the responsibility and excitement ahead: “Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious… I have no doubt that the Marymount community will thrive under your leadership.” Liza, in turn, spoke to the legacy she inherits from Avery: “From you, I learned that kindness is the most important quality a president can have… Marymount is a better place because of you.”

The symbolic center of the ceremony came as Avery and Scarlet passed the presidential and vice presidential pins to Liza and Amelia. Worn throughout the year and handed down each spring, these pins serve as a visible reminder of the trust and responsibility that come with leading the student body.

The Community concluded with a moment that captured both transition and continuity: for the first—and last—time, both outgoing and incoming presidents stood together to release faculty, staff, and each class in unison.

At Marymount, leadership is not defined by position alone, but by the way students show up for one another—through listening, collaboration, and care for the community. As the 2025–2026 ASB steps into their next chapter and the 2026–2027 team begins their work, this tradition serves as a reminder that leadership here is always shared, always evolving, and always grounded in something larger than any one individual.

And with that, the next chapter begins.
