My name is Makenzie Medford and I am part of the Class of 2026. This is my second year as Editor in Chief of The Lance, and my fourth year on the paper. Last year, I took a spot on the social media team and will continue with that job this year. Previously, I held the positions of Staff Writer (freshmen year) and School News Editor (sophomore year). Other than writing for the paper at school, I am a member of WiSTEM, SASA, National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll Honor Society. Outside of school, I am a member of the Core Team at Holy Spirit and I play soccer for Players 08 Elite G. I am very excited to see what my last year on the paper brings.
