I swear, every time I walk through the halls, I feel like Cady from “Mean Girls.” I literally see the jungle-like interactions. And when I blink, the images DON’T go away. Seriously, shut up and go to class. Half of the time, I have a headache and really don’t want to hear underclassmen screaming... Read more »

I have to give the school props. JC is donating 20 percent of the money raised from the Patriot Raffle to help out the earthquake victims of Haiti. Although I really haven’t heard much about the raffle this year, I’m proud of the administration’s decision. Haiti is in need of any help it can get.... Read more »

During the assembly for the juniors and seniors on December 2, we were told that the next day was going to be some kind of dress-up day. First off, I wasn’t even sure whether we were supposed to just wear black and gold or to actually dress nicely. Second, I still have no idea why we did this.... Read more »

To send a single college your SAT scores, College Board is charging $9.50! Not only that, but application fees for colleges can be as expensive as eighty dollars. We already have to pay an arm and a leg for tuition, room, and board if we get in. Why should they make us pay to simply apply to a school? ... Read more »

I didn’t expect the whole treasure island, pirate invasion, hidden treasure homecoming theme to be very good. But my attitude instantly changed as I walked through the two open doors and felt the beat of the music throughout my entire body. The turnout was fantastic, and everybody looked great. ...
