Gerber's nominator stated, “Ayden has always put others first. On the soccer team he was the last to leave the field after home or away games, ensuring everything was cleaned up and put away. He has been dedicated to the culinary arts program spending extra time helping in a variety of ways. Ayden wants people to be happy and works to continuously put others before himself.”
Gerber is an outstanding student with a 3.5 grade point average and 96.61% attendance rate for all four years of high school. He is actively involved in soccer at WHS and the culinary arts program at the Waynesville Career Center.
