"Powerful words have the ability to transport readers into the heart of a story. One of my goals is to inspire CCHS students to use their own words to impact others. When we chose the name The Beacon for our online publication, we were instantly drawn to the idea of shining a positive light on our community. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented writers. I look forward to many years of teaching young people to appreciate the craft of interviewing, editing, and publishing, while they also aspire to their own Journalism goals."
