Recent History
In Fall Term 2002, the club was initially led by Sady Wooten. Then, halfway through the term, she handed the leadership over to (then) Freshman, Suzy Morgan. Suzy remained president of the club from 2002 to Fall 2005, with help from vice-president Liz Jones. Thereafter, the presidency was turned over to Mark Munoz, who led the club for the 2005-2006 school year. Being quite the scalawag, Mark Munoz ran off to foreign parts unknown, leaving Brittany Leggans to mope over lost fencing foils.
As of Fall Term 2007, Brittany Leggans running the team, but has passed off all teaching duties to Nolan Bryant and Max Tegethoff.
