Zachary Kirisits: Editor-In-Chief

My name is Zachary Kirisits and I am currently a senior at Bishop Kearney High School. Since the age of five, I have been reading newspapers, closely following televised news, and discussing current events with family and friends. Therefore, the opportunity to participate in journalism has excited me, and I am glad to have been selected to contribute to this publication. During my high school tenure, I have won membership into the National Honor Society, I have been elected as president of Bishop Kearney’s Key Club, and I have participated in our school’s football program for four years (two years JV, two years Varsity). I am currently pursuing admission into several prestigious universities, where I would love to pursue a higher education in either business, politics, or international studies. And it is worth noting that none of my accomplishments would have been possible, nor dreams plausible, had it not been for continued support from my family, friends, and God.
