Hello! My name is Chloe Mensch, and I am a junior at SHS. This is my first year in the journalism program, but I am so excited and humbled to learn from such talented and wonderful writers. My position this year is Copy Editor, so I will be making corrections and refining many of the pieces in print and online. I decided to join this class because I found myself working too hard in subjects that were not fulfilling; I wanted to change that this year, and I want my writing to improve. It is also important to me to be able to work in a fast paced and deadline oriented environment. Besides journalism, I am involved in our schools orchestra program, performing in musicals and plays whenever we have one. I am also part of Environmental Club, as well as Homeless Care Club. My favorite subjects are English and Psychology. Outside of school, my passions include music and photography. In my free time I play bass, and I spend time with my friends and family. I love reading, and I also enjoy journaling. Thank you for reading!
