Performing Values Instead Of Practicing Them

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Julia Atanasio-Villa

When you walk into the bathroom in the Community Commons, you see the sign on the door. At first, it seems inclusive. There is Braille under the printed words to make the bathroom signs accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. But if you place your hands on the Braille, you won’t be […]

New courts change the game at KO

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Sanya Sadiq

On Jan. 6, 2026, the familiar walk into Kingswood Oxford’s squash facility, the Wyvern Squash Club, felt entirely different. For years, players from both the boys’ and girls’ teams passed by a worn-down basketball court – once a catchall storage space during the COVID era – without much thought. Now, in its place, stand four […]

The Best Sport At the Olympics

Every two years, my patriotism rises to match my enthusiasm as I cheer for Team U.S.A. in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. I also, of course, have my favorite sports that I love to watch. Gymnastics is always a highlight, along with synchronized diving, snowboarding, and some of the skiing events. But, I cannot […]

You should watch ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Miles Gruber

I, like many others, have been burned by the “Game Of Thrones” universe. The books are never going to be finished and the show’s ending was awful. All in all, to be a “Game Of Thrones” fan is a sad and pitiful life. So when I sat down to watch “A Knight of the Seven […]

Valentine’s Day: Why does it matter?

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Sophie Agatep

When people greet you on Feb. 14 with the phrase: “Happy Valentine’s Day!” The first thing that comes to mind is usually love. Love is a complex term, but generally, the initial thought that comes to mind is romantic relationships with significant others. Could the word we celebrate on Valentine’s Day, “love,” refer to other […]

Is spring break too early?

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Aarav Mathur

With the school year encroaching upon March, the conversation and buildup to spring break is only inevitable. Honestly though, our break itself is a little different than most. While many public schools take a one-week break in April, we get two full weeks off in March. On paper, that sounds like a luxury, and in […]

There is always an after

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Teague Shamleffer

Standing at the top of a mountain, it can be easy to forget the effort it took to reach the summit, and even easier to forget that you will eventually have to come back down. If one were to ask the average American in the early 1920s to predict what the coming decade would bring, […]

‘Be Where Your Feet Are’: Lila’s 100 days at the Island School

March 6, 2026March 1, 2026Leilani Moyano

To many, studying in the Bahamas sounds like a vacation: white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and UV 12. For Junior Lila Klinzmann, a semester abroad at The Island School in Eleuthera, The Bahamas wasn’t one of laying out and tanning. Instead, it was a transformative, 100-day experience where Lila traded in her phone and […]
