Hello, my name is Jack Gianetto and I am so happy and proud to be a part of this program. This will be my third year taking part in the newspaper and I am a senior this year. I can't tell you how excited I am to not only help write in the physical copy of the newspaper, but to put videos, podcasts, and other media up on the website. Besides newspapers I am also part of RCTV and drama club and while outside of school I have been focusing on working at Discount Tire and continuing my passion in film.
