I am a Senior here at Mount Greylock, and I have been a member of the Echo for five years. Along with being a journalist, I love playing soccer, reading Jane Austen and trashy murder mysteries, and seeing how fast I can complete the New York Times mini crossword puzzle.
I joined the Echo because I love being part of a newspaper, and it’s why I still do it for that reason. I also do Shakespeare and enjoy getting coffee with friends, music, and baking.
Krishiv is a junior, and this year will be his fifth year on the Echo. He enjoys interviewing people and writing opinion pieces. Outside of the Echo, he is an avid photographer and loves eating good food.
Knowl's favorite part of the Echo is interviewing classmates, but he often gets sucked into nasty situations involving Oxford commas. Outside of the Echo, Knowl is a skier, runner, and general enjoyer of the outdoors.
Quin joined the Echo to gain more experience in a new type of writing. In her spare time, she can be found writing or performing in plays, playing the trumpet, and breathing.
Charlotte is the Echo's managing editor by day and a dialogue lover, volunteer, and rower by slightly past 2:30. She enjoys many things blue and avocado toast.
Nora joined the Echo to improve her writing skills while exploring the school community and its current events. Nora also is a member of Mount Greylock's soccer and track teams.
Lucy loves to play soccer and run track. She also enjoys reading and writing.
Frankie loves asking questions and chasing leads. Outside of the Echo, she enjoys theater, reading, and making movies.
Molly is a senior who has been on the Echo for four years. She plays soccer and basketball and enjoys writing long features for the Echo. In her free time, she can be found reading any interesting book, binging Parks and Rec, or watching the same 4 movies on repeat - Pitch Perfect, Cool Runnings, Good Will Hunting, and Reputation Stadium Tour.
Andrew joined the Echo to realize his interest for reporting on interesting school events and topics. He runs Cross-Country and Track and always stays up-to-date on the latest sports-related news.
Kiersten Simpson is a senior. When not writing for the Echo, Simpson can be found onstage or derailing JCL meetings. Simpson has never been stung by a bee, but they are still seeking vengeance on a wasp that stung them. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a wasp that claims to have been on Pontoosuc Lake on May 27th, 2020, please alert Kiersten so justice may finally be properly served.
"I exist. That's about it."
Drew plays football, golf, and tennis. He also enjoys music and moved to Massachusetts two years ago.
Sylvie joined the Echo in 7th grade due to her interest in journalism. She loves reading and has been doing book reviews for the Echo for years. She is also a part of theater at the school.
