With the closing of the 2024-2025 school-year, we would like to say good-bye and good luck to our many Caledonian senior staff members heading off to begin a new chapter of their lives. Each staff member has had an intricate part of the newspaper process; writing, editing, photography, and maintaining social media accounts. We wish them the best of luck as they venture out into the “real” world.
Amalia Lopez has had a successful run as a first-year, head Editor for the Caledonian, and also as a writer for the Conroe ISD student journalism network. Taking on any task she is given; she is reliable and even-keeled. She will be attending Loyola University Chicago in the fall, seeking a degree in Biology.
Trevor Reese has also had a successful year as an Editor for the Caledonian, and as a writer for Conroe ISD student journalism network. He is heading to college somewhere in Texas to pursue a degree in Business Management. His favorite memory was attending the Newspaper conference with the SNO Journalism platform in the fall. He loved learning about the “ins and outs” of the online newspaper.
Jasmine Picka is looking forward to attending Texas Tech in Lubbock for a degree in Business and Photography. She is excited to explore more opportunities in the sports photojournalism field.
Maddison Schwartz is headed to the University of Texas at Arlington majoring in Nursing. She’s traveling to Los Angeles over the summer. Her favorite memory of school was all of APUSH (she loves Mrs. Salmon).
Alex Hant will attend Dartmouth College to study Philosophy and Public Policy, with plans to pursue a career in law and politics focused on NGO work and legal advocacy. Her favorite high school memories include late nights at debate tournaments and every stressful moment that shaped her journey. She’s deeply grateful to the incredible faculty and organizations that supported her along the way.

Branden Gregg is planning on going to Texas A&M. His major S.E.A.L (Society, ethics, and law), will
