Jordan De La Cruz is a senior and is the Sports editor. This is his second year on staff. De La Cruz is musically inclined and pursues such interest as he is in Robinson’s Drumline and plays instruments in his free time at home. He’s played the guitar since 2021 and began playing the drums for the marching band in 2022. De La Cruz also enjoys attempting new instruments as he's tried to play new instruments like the recorder. De La Cruz shares a strong connection to music, and he favors listening to Current Joys, Surf Curse and The Frights. “Music has always been super important to me, not just like listening, but playing it too,” De La Cruz said. “I love indie, alternative and rock. All that good stuff.” In addition to the Marching Knights and jazz band, De La Cruz is vice president of Keep Our School Beautiful (KOSB) club. "I enjoy being in KOSB club because my parents have raised me to recycle and it means a lot to me to set that same standard at my school," he said. What brought De La Cruz to newspaper was his friends, but what kept him in the class was his love for videography and story writing. “I initially joined this class, because a friend invited me to meet the teacher. I always wanted to do hosting for some videos, but last year I realized my talent was in writing stories,” he said. “I honestly love it so much. I've been very interested in writing sports stories. I hope to go to UF and maybe pursue journalism as a degree.” With this being his second year and first year in an editorial position, he looks forward to many things in newspaper. “I'm most looking forward to leaving my mark in newspaper, specifically in how we run the sports section,” De La Cruz said. “I enjoy the work, but especially the people. Some of my closest friends are the people I met through newspaper.”

Keirra McGoldrick is senior at Robinson and the Opinion Editor of Knight Writers. This is her third year on staff and her second year as an editor. McGoldrick, as an editor, must provide a sense of direction and help for those coming into newspaper who may not quite know what they need to be doing. She must also make sure that all stories written by staff writers are up to par with that of the standard for the newspaper. “I edit all the opinion stories and make spreadsheets for opinion writers," McGoldrick said. McGoldrick may like writing in journalism, though nothing trumps her love of photography. She lists photography as one of her favorite hobbies and pass times outside of journalism. “I like photography," McGoldrick said. "I take pictures of anything I find interesting." Though McGoldrick has to keep up a balance of her academics and the needs of newspaper, she hopes to have enough time to join the photography club.  She wishes to do this in order to interact and convey her love of photography with other like-minded students at Robinson. Being the academic achiever that she is, McGoldrick keeps up with all of her classes. The two of these classes that she holds closest to her heart are journalism and history. However, she probably favors journalism a little more because it has her favorite teacher, Ms. Webster, who leads her to improve herself in all manner of things, especially photography. Outside of journalism, one of McGoldrick’s pastimes is to listen to music. As we know everyone needs a little bit of music to pull them through a slow school day, or just a slow day in general. “I like R&B and pop," McGoldrick said. “Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, etc." High school isn't all McGoldrick has mapped out to do. Seeing as she is an academic achiever, McGoldrick already has plans for her future. She plans to keep her academic streak going through college. “I plan on going to university and majoring in criminal psychology and then after I graduate from normal college, I’m going to go get a PhD,” McGoldrick said.
