Senior Scholarships Science & Engineering Fair Daisy Warner's journey at PV High School was marked by her active involvement in Live from 205 for the past four years, where she was most recently a producer. Daisy's impact extended beyond her school's walls, as she also served as a guest speaker at neighboring schools, advocating for men- tal health awareness and the significance of seeking support when needed.
