WHO ARE WE? Panorama is Ladue Horton Watkin’s High School student-run newsmagazine. We publish 9 monthly issues a year along with our annual Senior Edition, which focuses on the graduating class. Our students work tirelessly to cover students, staff, and events that affect the Ladue community. Our paper is entirely created, edited, designed, and proofed by Ladue students.

WHY ADVERTISE WITH US? WHO SEES OUR PUBLICATION Our newsmagazine is distributed to the Ladue High School student body of 1,300 students along with over 100 staff members. We also mail over 100 copies out to families, business, and local high schools. OUR LEGACY Panorama is one of the top scholastic high school newsmagazines in the country, earning countless local, regional, and national recognition. In 2021 our newsmagazine was recognized by the National Scholastic Press Association as a Pacemaker Winner, setting the standard for student publications across the nation. This past spring, we were named one of three top schools in the country for graphic design by Quill and Scroll National Honor Society. We frequently place in the top 10 at national conventions, most recently placing third in the spring of 2022. To put it simply, we love what we do and we strive to do it the best that we can. If our students would benefit from your business, we would love to help you share it with them. SPREAD DESIGN BY OLIVIA HU

What goes through Zhou’s mind during a game ranges from calculating variations to thoughts about how the game has progressed from the start. “If I still have a lot of time on my clock and or it’s my opponent’s turn, I sometimes take a mental break and zone out for a bit,” Zhou said. “I also don’t really have any room for distractions while I’m trying not to get checkmated.”(photos by Sydney Collinger)

Eileen Suarez, like most seniors, has been swept up in the college application process. She seeks acceptance into an art school, which means that her applications — as well as her burnout — looks a lot different. “For me, burnout from schoolwork is a lot easier to deal with,” Suarez said. “Especially because I can stop doing the homework and just talk to my teachers. With creative burnout, it’s just me and my own expectations. Around middle school, there was a certain period in my

But inadvertently, this ended up manufacturing formulaic approaches to what students should be spending free time doing in order to offer colleges a depersonalized display of their potentials. “In sports, specifically, there’s a motivation to specialize,” Ciorba said. “But as someone who likes to do a lot of different stuff, I don’t really want to specialize in just one sport, so I’m diving and wrestling. That’s pretty difficult because it takes a lot of time. In both seasons, there comes a point where practice feels like it’s five hours long, because I’m just ready to go and things get really repetitive. If my goals aren’t always met, I feel super down.
