About the Contributors
Kendall Johnson, Features Editor
I am a senior at Bonita Vista High and this is my second year on the Crusader. Last year I was an Arts and Culture Editor and this year I am the Features CPS (center page spread) Editor. I initially joined newspaper because I’ve always had a passion for writing. I stayed because of how quickly I grew to love journalism, the class environment and the relationships I built with my fellow staff members. I strongly believe that journalists are such a vital part of a community, and how journalism is an art that will always be important in our society. I am looking to continue this passion in the future. Outside of newspaper, I participate in field hockey and lacrosse, I am also the Vice President of Task Force and Co-president of the Hiking Club.

Isabella Garcia, Editor-in-Chief
Hello! I am a senior at BVH, and I have been on the Crusader staff for all four years now. This year I am Co Editor-in-Chief and was previously the Editor-at-Large, Sports Editor and Sports Copy-Editor. The reason I originally joined newspaper was because I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and try something new. I also really enjoy reporting and taking photos at school and sporting events on and off campus. Outside of newspaper, you can find me playing as a midfielder and defender for BVH’s varsity field hockey and varsity girls’ lacrosse teams.
