Senior Goodbye: Lessons learned

Lindsey Hughes, Editor-In-Chief May 17, 2022

Senior Goodbye: Six lucky charms

Parker Post, Editor-In-Chief May 16, 2022

I’m having a hard time writing this. Really, I’m having a hard time with it all. I hate goodbyes; I’m horrible at them and always have been. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s true. I don't like...

Throughout high school, and even just the entirety of my educational journey to now, I always asked myself the question “Who are you?” which seems kind of complicated and at times, confusing, frustrating and even complex. “Who are you?” is a question that I try to find an answer to almost daily and changes very frequently depending on my mood or feelings that day.

Senior Goodbye: Celebrating from the sidelines

Olivia Lauter, Section Editor May 12, 2022

I can still remember my first high school football game. I was terrified. The football players were all ginormous and I was this little, 14-year-old freshman holding a camera with anticipation. My time...

Senior Goodbye: Why you should fall in love

Ashlan Morgan, Staff Writer May 10, 2022

The ancient Greeks had eight words for love: eros, philia, agape, storge, mania, ludus, pragma and ​​philautia. Each word has a very specific meaning and connotation, all of which help us to understand...
