Every year, Top Cougar is one of the most popular events at our school. Not only do the senior participants put on an entertaining show, but all proceeds benefit their class’ prom and graduation party. This year’s theme is the presidential election, which is relevant to the current race for presidency in our country. Student Council promoted the theme by creating contestant ads and campaign posters throughout the school. This year’s hosts are Maggie Collins (12) and Emily Fagel (12). Both seniors agreed this year’s theme is really clever, and that they are excited to have fun with it.

“If I was participating in Top Cougar, my slogan would obviously be ‘VHHS Without Fagel Is Like Cream Cheese Without A Bagel.’ For my act, I would do tricks with my bike,” said Fagel.
