Staff Editorial

The “high school experience,” is something that is commercialized and romanticized throughout our culture. But for good reason, high school has a large impact on the lives of students. It can be the best and worst of times but in this magazine, we wanted to honor the beauty and chaos of these four special years. We believe that the experience received truly comes down to the involvement of the student and willingness to participate.

Through the pandemic, the “high school experience,” was stolen from us. In the last year, we have worked to gain it back with things such as prom, senior traditions, the Red Zone, musicals and more. But it is not just the events that make high school special. It is also about finding your people, growing up and ultimately preparing for the next stage in our lives.

In high school, you are given the chance to grow and make memories that will impact your life forever. You’re able to figure out what you want in life and who you are with these experiences because the people around you are doing the same. People don’t realize how important this stage of your life is until it’s gone and wish they could go back.

This magazine is meant to honor the beauty and chaos of high school and growing up. This is where you make the most memorable moments in your life. You learn to live in the moment and treasure the traditions that are personal to your school. You don’t know when your experiences could be taken away and when it could all be changed in a second. Being involved in your high school might not seem like a big deal now, but in the future, these memories will mean a lot to you and impact how you continue on through life.

This is your time to get involved with the things that inspire and excite you whether that be through the arts, sports or even academics. These opportunities only happen once in your life, it’s important to be involved and have these moments in your life. Looking back into these memories is something you don’t want to regret but rather enjoy and reminisce.

Sincerely,

The Livewire Staff
