Hi, My name is Quinn Barton I’m a junior! This year will be my second year on staff and I’m super excited to be your Photography Editor! Last year I got to learn so much and had so much fun making new friends and focusing a lot of my time on sports reporting. At the end of the year was awarded Rookie of the Year which was a huge accomplishment. This year I’m excited to share my passion for photography with others and learn more about it myself! I can't wait to see what the future holds. To see more of my work check out @rcrockmedia and @quinnbartonphotography!

The junior class boos freshman during the opening assembly on the morning of Aug. 23. Booing has been a long-standing tradition during assemblies, but talks of shifting it to cheering have recently circulated the school. "[Freshmen are] expecting to come in with everyone supporting them and us booing them makes them upset and sad," Daksha Gopalakrishnan ‘25 said. "I think it has a negative effect on them, they won’t be able to feel welcome or anything like that."

Varsity softball captain and shortstop Sydney Boulaphinh ‘24 swings to hit the ball during the fifth inning Oct. 3. Boulaphinh committed to play Division 1 collegiate softball for Stanford University during her junior year. "This season was one of the worst seasons in Rock Canyon history," Boulaphinh said. "I think this team had a lot of expectations and relied on many people to carry, and that never happened. I believe most of the games we lost, we could’ve won. It’s the little things that matter--when it came down to who got to 21 outs first, we weren’t the team."
