STAFFER OF THE ISSUE

Our Newsroom staff has accomplished a lot this school year. Including our orientation, scheduling, and senior issues, we published and distributed 12 issues of the Orb alongside the ongoing production of our yearbook, the Sceptre.

Our staff has come up with many ideas to change and innovate the Orb. These changes help to maintain consistency and keep our monthly publication up-to-date and accessible with many of the world’s technological innovations. This year, we resumed producing themed issues of the Orb, such as our digital issue for the month of March.

We also began publishing stories present in our monthly news magazine on the HSE News website. This digital version of stories also published on paper helps both readers and writers. It increases accessibility for readers and helps our staff make corrections and updates on stories.

The Newsroom staff is enormously proud of all the advancements and improvements we have made this school year and we look forward to keeping HSE informed and entertained for many more years to come.

Behind the Cover...

Featured on the cover is a photo of students hurrying to class during a passing period. The multicolored lines winding through the hallway represent the path of travel many of us have taken this year as we headed to class, extracurriculars, lunch or sports before the bell marked us as tardy. The photo was taken by Lauren Kopka.

The central concept behind this Orb was looking back at everything we have accomplished this year individually and as a collective student body. As we look into the summer months ahead our second question as a newsroom was how are we as Royals are going to implement what we have learned. We dive into both of these concepts in this, our last regular issue of the Orb for the year.
