Stigma around nontraditional career paths undeserved, students should focus on diversity, experience

Matthew Du | March 29, 2023

In some circles, primarily in schools that do not encourage alternative education, there is a strong stigma against those who choose alternative routes other than traditional colleges, such as trade schools or community colleges. Many people who select these options are seen as subpar and not intelligent enough to go to a “real” college and therefore will not have successful or fulfilling  lives....

School should consider moving spring break to mid-March

Lorna Ding | March 29, 2023

If there were three words we could use to describe the feeling of second semester, it would be over-kneaded bread dough. To make bread, you need to mix flour, water and yeast, but you can’t mix it for too long.

The movie “Groundhog Day” promotes harassment, continues discussion on how movies influence behavior

Nora Mariano | February 2, 2023

While the month of February is particularly famous for Valentines Day, Groundhog Day is another holiday people celebrate. Groundhog Day has garnered its own popularity and has even inspired a movie. But while the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day” starring Bill Murray earned a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie is deeply problematic and romanticizes harassment.  You wouldn’t expect a movie titled...

According to Principal Tim Phares, some students entered another student’s ID number to purchase lunch.
