Jana Seal, Editor In Chief
Hi, I’m Jana Seal. I’ve been on staff since my freshman year, and was the copy editor of The Rock last year. This year, as an Editor in Chief, I’m beyond excited to work toward excellence as a publication, as a team, and as a program. I’m a president of Student Safety Alliance (SSA), an intern writer for the Castle Pines Connection, and a policy intern at ACLU Colorado. Next year, I hope to attend college for media and political science, as well as continue to pursue my passion for classical ballet. Whatever I end up doing in life, I want to pursue truth, create change, and document people, places and events. In terms of these goals, I could not be in a better political climate, school, or program, and with another staff, editorial board, or Co Editor in Chief. I’m more than optimistic about this year for The Rock! You can contact me at: [email protected]

By the time we got back they were only plowing highways. We spun out, nearly got stuck and fishtailed a few different times,” Connor Pugh ‘26 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Untitled_Artwork-e1732045465987.jpg)

During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)
