Kelleigh Hogan, Editor-in-Chief

Kelleigh Hogan is a senior at Horizon Honors, starting her fourth year at Horizon Honors and as a part of its journalism program. It is that journalism program that she is especially grateful for since it has improved her confidence and writing dramatically. She has occupied the roles of columnist and Editor of Sports and Student Life before assuming the role of Editor-in-Chief last year. In continuing her work as Editor-in-Chief for a second year, she hopes to help her peers improve their writing and photography abilities while improving her own. She is also excited to apply what she has learned from the Summer Journalism Institute at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Outside of Journalism, Hogan is involved in numerous activities, including clubs, volunteer work, and other activities. She is a part of the National Honor Society, Model Dress Club, Art Club, Pre-Med Hairbro Club, Protecting Our Environment Club, and HeforShe Club. She volunteers with several different organizations, including various challenger programs for Little League (which helps special needs students) and completing office work for a variety of charities. She can also be found playing tennis, spending time with her friends and family, and working on her art portfolio. As she has reiterated every year, Hogan has high hopes of the upcoming year.

Application Fee Fears

The application process involves a multitude of fees, ranging from the fees imposed by colleges or those needed to send test scores, that can lead to students either spending far too much to apply to all the schools they want to or limiting the number of colleges they apply to out of fear of large costs.

Folding and Flowers: Kusadama Flower

Flowers are gorgeous, but the fresh kind aren’t as everlasting as we wish and the fake kind are, well, fake. This kusadama flower is perfect, because it’s handmade while still being beautiful.

Stranded and Left Without a Standardized Test

Sophomores are being spared the AIMS, but that may not be as sweet as it seems. The decision to get rid of AIMS testing by the Arizona Department of Education has negative effects that they didn’t seem to consider with their choice.
