Carsten Oyer, Editor-in-Chief

A senior at Horizon Honors, Carsten Oyer is entering his fifth year at the school and in Journalism and his third year as Editor-in-Chief of The Horizon Sun. Oyer is excited to spend his final year on the publication preparing the team for his departure and continuing to improve both the Sun’s reach and the journalistic skills of this year’s columnists. Outside of Journalism, Oyer enjoys English and history classes, and is currently taking AP Government. An avid reader and writer, Oyer writes most passionately about international relations and, in his spare time, philosophy. He is Student Body Vice President on Student Council, President of Model United Nations, and is treasurer of Linguistics Club. Oyer also enjoys community service and spending time with his pets, which include a cat, a dog, and a tank full of fish. As he leads The Horizon Sun for one final year, Oyer is excited to once again see new journalists find a passion for writing.
