Rhea Acharya, Editor in Chief

Hi, I’m Rhea, the Editor in Chief of the HiLite newsmagazine for the 2020 to 2021 school year. I’m so excited to make the most out of my third and final year on staff. In the past, I have served as a News Reporter, Beats Editor, and Cover Story Editor. Outside of HiLite, I love to bullet journal, cuddle with my dog, and drink hot chocolate all 12 months of the year. You can also find me reading books and spending time outside with friends and family. Look to the right for all my past work!
