Grace Na, Editor-in-Chief

As a senior and Editor-in-Chief of BVH’s the Crusader, I hope to guide the publication to continue publishing articles that have an impact on our community. This year, I am Editor-in-Chief, and previously was Managing Editor, Opinion Editor and Staff Writer. I find joy in the welcoming community that works hard to put out a quality publication, which is why I rejoined the staff. Moreover, I greatly value the role the Crusader plays in our community and the publication’s aim to advocate for under represented communities. Outside of the Crusader, I hold  leadership positions in both Junior Optimist and the Pickwick club; in addition, I compete with the BVHS's Speech and Debate team.
