Adrienne Deslongchamps, Co-Editor-in-Chief

My name is Adrienne Deslongchamps, and I am a senior at Loretto Academy. 

I am a co-editor-in-chief of The Prax alongside Sophia Navarro.

Although this is my first year writing for The Prax, I have been pestering the counselors to enroll me in journalism since I was a freshman.

It goes without saying that I am beyond excited to finally contribute to our school newspaper by reporting on news both local and national.

Writing has been one of my passions almost ever since I learned to spell my own name; however, some of my other passions include reading, singing, jewelry making, computer programming, and playing video games.

I have been a student at Loretto since sixth grade, and I am grateful for this opportunity to become further involved in our community before I graduate.

Although journalism will always hold a special place in my heart, I plan to study computer science and psychology in college.

I hope you enjoy the 2019 – 2020 edition of The Prax and all of the hard work our reporters and editors put into it!
