Savannah Dupper, News Editor

As a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School and the El Cid News Editor, I look forward to promoting positivity on campus by sharing my voice through the stories I write and by showcasing my editing abilities. An avid literature and writing enthusiast and a believer in the power of the written word, I aim to grow in the coming year by expanding my knowledge and experience in the art of journalism. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and spending time with friends. My passion for writing and role as an El Cid editor continue to motivate me to strive for an informative, timely, and successful student newspaper. The CCHS community abounds with compelling people, stories, and events I am eager to share with the student body.
