Editor-in-Chief — Hi’s Eye
Westfield High School’s award-winning, independent, student-run newspaper. Est. 1935
I’m proud to serve as Editor-in-Chief of Hi’s Eye, one of the nation’s few fully independent high school newspapers. As EIC, I help shape the editorial direction of the publication, lead weekly editorial meetings, guide story and Op/Ed selection, and supervise our section editors across news, features, opinions, sports, and arts.
My goal is to ensure that our coverage reflects the diversity of student perspectives at WHS by uplifting underrepresented voices, maintaining journalistic integrity, and responding thoughtfully to current events, both local and national.
