Kenzie Dera, Section Editor

Hey! I’m Kenzie and this year I’m a sophomore. I am the On Campus editor and I plan to create interactive and stunning pages for our paper and write for all different sections and web. When I’m not writing, I can be found in the performing arts wing helping to produce plays, musicals and other music performances around all of the community and schools. Outside of school, I hang out with my friends and listen to music artists like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande.

QUALITY LEADERSHIP | Choosing the role of the superintendent is one of the most important roles for the Board of Education, according to Deputy Superintendent Dr. Roy Bishop Jr., which is why they included the Michigan Association of School Boards in their search for the best candidate. “I'm sure they'll have a candidate profile, a portfolio that will be created based upon community, student, teacher, paraprofessional support staff input, and then from there they will look to be able to find the best candidate for someone to fill in that role,” Bishop said.
