As a club player, she helped the Under-18 Empire Volleyball Club to an 18-1 record and a second-place finish at the Volleyball Festival in Reno, Nev.
Andre served as student body treasurer for four years and also the treasurer for Rotary Interact. She was a member of K-CORPS' Squad 3, while also being active in community groups AWANAS and JSA. Following graduation from Kelseyville, she attended West Point Military Academy Prep School for a semester before returning home to California.
