## Resource

Katahdin Staples, East Anchorage High’s top track star and state cross country champ, is rewriting the school’s social landscape—not with medals, but with heart. As president of the student advisory board and a key force behind the revived Partners Club, he’s turning simple gestures into life-changing connections for students with disabilities. From bowling nights to Polar Plunges, he’s creating inclusive fun—and making sure no one gets left behind, even arranging rides so everyone can join. Inspired by peer programs and fueled by belief that small kindnesses matter most, Staples proves being a student-athlete isn’t just about trophies—it’s about leading with purpose, balancing academics with action, and proving that true greatness is measured in impact, not just achievement.
