A Step Above: Trent Philip Gneiting

Palo Verde High School

Class of 2012

 

Palo Verde High School Student Body President Trent Gneiting is, like most high-achieving young adults, a student of life, learning each day to keep pushing forward through both thick and thin. What sets him apart is that he is also a teacher, of sorts, with a heart-felt intention to prove that life is not merely a series of action and reward; that true success comes from treating others fairly and giving selflessly for nothing more than the joy that it brings. Charging ahead of the game academically, athletically and in a role of leadership, Trent Gneiting can always be found in a place where hard work meets kindness and enthusiasm, and for that, he is – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “I plan to attend Brigham Young University in Provo Utah then serve a two year mission for the LDS church.  I will then major in business and minor in political science.”

 

Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am most proud of being Student Body President for one of the most successful high schools in the state. Go Palo!”

 

Trent is Stronger and Wiser Because: “I lost my election for class president sophomore year. When this happened, I was inspired to work that much harder to accomplish my goal of becoming student body president.”

 

Part of the Solution: “Many young people expect much, but only want to give a little.  There is much to be said about giving service without a reward.  We can find true joy in life by serving our fellow man.”
