Laurinne Eugenio, Editor-in-Chief

I am a senior at Bonita Vista High and a third year staff member on the Crusader. This year, I am co-Editor-in-Chief, and previously was Opinion Editor and Features (CPS) Editor. I have enjoyed my time in Newspaper and chose to stay because of its welcoming and inclusive community; everyone on staff is hardworking, reliable, and wholesome. I align with the Crusader’s aim to advocate for people whose voices and stories are newsworthy and often unheard of. Being a part of staff truly is a meaningful opportunity and I’m excited for what this school year entails. Outside of Newspaper, I hold leadership positions in Speech and Debate, Mock Trial, and Tedx; I am also an IB candidate!
