Welcome back Eagles!
My name is Marwa Khzir, and I am beyond excited and grateful to be the Editor-in-Chief of your school newspaper for the 2024-2025 school year.
As I reflect on my last four years on staff, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being part of The Chatterbox. The support and creativity of our staff have made every challenge worthwhile and every success more meaningful.
Since my first day in The Chatterbox, I’ve often considered the unique position we hold in covering stories that matter to our community. It struck me when I realized how The Chatterbox continuously and exclusively covers the school, while other publications focus on broader topics.
As a student journalist, I strive to connect our community and produce work that can be remembered for its honesty and creativity.
The halls of WHHS are filled with unique stories each day, and I hope that as a paper we continue to capture these narratives. The diverse array of sports and clubs within WHHS is not only unique to our school, but it also strengthens our community.
By highlighting these experiences, we can showcase the vibrant life at WHHS and foster a greater sense of belonging among students and staff.
I hope that as a publication we can encourage those reading to continue to engage with our paper and remain connected with the issues that matter, all the while knowing their voices are heard.
From our talented writers and dedicated editors to our advisor Samantha Gerwe-Perkins and mentor Howard Wilkinson, each person involved with The Chatterbox plays a vital role in making our newspaper one of the top student publications in the state. I am grateful to be part of such an outstanding team.
I hope those reading enjoy our first issue of the year, as I know each writer has dedicated their time to creating a work they are proud of.
Lastly, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested in joining The Chatterbox. The community here is genuinely remarkable, and you will find it both supportive and rewarding. Our members are always eager to lend a helping hand and share valuable insights. If you’re looking for a place to connect, learn and grow, this is it. We can always be found in room 2306 for those interested.
Best regards,
Marwa Khzir
