With only three members of the executive board continuing from last year, new plans and changes are to come for the 2023-2024 academic year. There are two stations run by students, according to…
For many kids of our age group, September brings a plentiful amount of new beginnings such as the beginning of the school year, fall sports, Friday (and Saturday) night lights and cooler weather.

Ever since I watched the “Elvis” film last summer, Elvis Presley’s music has consumed my life. I’ve listened to his entire discography since then, and I can say with pride that Presley is my favorite artist of all time.

Juliana Lepore-Editor In Chief I have listened to 5 Seconds of Summer more than any other band for the past 10 years, but this summer, it was different. I went to see their show in Boston on August 13th and it reminded me of how much I love their 2014 banger “English Love Affair.” They…
