The CHIEF May 2021

A NOTE FROM YOUR EDITOR

By Joe G i l mo r

Hey, everybody, and thanks for tuning in to this year’s (and my) final edition of The Chief ! This year has been a wild ride, but I’m extremely grateful to all of our staff and readers alike for making it one to remember. When I walked into my first school newspaper meeting as a freshman, I never imagined I’d be sitting here, writing my final Editor’s note after three exciting years as Editor-in-Chief. As I left that meeting, however, I knew that I would always be a part of the Chief family. Since then, my experience has been a rollercoaster of scheduling interviews, making sure (or trying to) that deadlines are met on time, and attempting to manage it all while participating in several other clubs and far too many AP classes- and I’ve loved every minute. My time as Editor has taught me not only how to be a better writer and how to communicate with others, but how to be a responsible student and a better citizen. And now, as I reflect on my high school career, it is hard to imagine where I would be without the newspaper. So I’d like to say thank you, Dr. Soares and Mr. Blair, for your continued support and guidance. And thank you, Chief staffers, for all of the kindness and friendship you have shown me throughout my time with the paper. And, finally, thank you, readers, for giving myself and all of our writers the chance to interact with our wonderful PTHS community.

I hope you all enjoy this last edition of The Chief , and thank you all for being a part of the Chief family.

Sincerely, Joe Gilmor, Editor-in-Chief
