Chase Anderson is a quick-thinking, witty PHS senior with a larger-than-life personality. Though she may seem intimidating, there really isn't anything scary about her 5’4 self. 

Between serving the community with NHS and helping plan activities with student council, Chase is often at the tennis courts, jamming to music down backroads, or laughing at her own jokes with friends. Her love for folk and country music, clothing style, and longing for her Colorado hometown further push her bubbly “camp counselor” aesthetic.

“Chase is the most blonde gal you will ever meet. You tell her one thing and it goes right out the other side of her brain,” junior Kenzie Fields said. “She is an amazing friend to have and will always be a shoulder to lean on.”
