Abigail Wood, Assistant Editor in Chief: Photo & Camera Editor
Hi, I’m Abigail Wood, currently a senior. This will be my fourth and final year on staff. In my sophomore year, I was Social Media Manager. Then, I became Managing Editor in my junior year. This year, I am now the Assistant Editor-in-Chief: Photo & Camera Editor. I hope to make this a year full of memories and reporting. I own a 1966 VW Bug–you might’ve seen it in the parking lot! I love to take photos and even run my own personal photography business. I love taking sports-based photos, hockey being my favorite, and I also love taking senior and group portraits. I am a competitive swimmer and have been swimming competitively since I was 10. I hope to swim in college and I can’t wait to see where that brings me. I am a part of Quill & Scroll International Honorary Society. I can’t wait to see what the future holds this year in the media world! If you want to see it unfold, check out @rcrockmedia or @abigaiil_wood_photography, or stop by room 4113 during seventh period.

According to Keep America Beautiful, the majority of the trash found on both roads and waterways consists of fast food wrappers and packaging, receipts and plastic beverage bottles. Clubs like the National Honor Society (NHS) offer students the opportunity to earn service hours by cleaning up the trash in the parking lots. “[The trash] makes us look very unhygienic and unmotivated to be a proper school,” Emberlyse Vidal ‘28 said. “It makes us look like we just don't care about our students' environments.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20260220_1355020-2-1200x904.jpg)
![Looking for a player, varsity forward and captain Sienna Pillsbury '24 finds a teammate to pass the ball to Jan. 16. The team beat the Huskies 60-19. Their previous game ended in a 76-65 win against the Highlands Ranch Falcons Jan. 11, for the second time in the school's history. "We have so much tension between [Highlands Ranch] because of past coaches, past teammates and that they are a rival," varsity point and shooting guard Brooke Harding '24 said. "The energy was amazing and having a student section was awesome! I couldn’t fall asleep that night after we took that dub."](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/DSC2576-e1705558316958-1084x1200.jpg)
![Stunting in front of the CHSAA poster, varsity bracer Allison Arro ‘25 holds up flyer Riley Gehrke ‘27 during the single base hand in hand Dec. 9. The single base hand in hand is considered the most difficult part of the team’s routine because it’s where they are able to score the most points in difficulty. “In cheerleading, we use a term called ‘hitting zero’,” varsity base Emerson Lindsley ‘25 said. “[It] basically means you go out and hit your routine with zero deductions, no falls, all stunts in the air, all tumbling landed. Usually, the teams that hit zero have the highest placement, since they had the least amount of deductions. Difficulty and execution are also very important point boosters in cheerleading.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/DSC8153-1200x800.jpg)

Our next step is Nationals,” varsity poms dancer Harper Rank ‘25 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Team-w_-Abner-and-Brieske-1-e1703101639674-1200x944.jpeg)
