Monday through Friday at 1:58pm, Londonderry High School’s main lot is a hot mess. Students can be seen sprinting from the school’s side doors to their cars with no regard or caution to traffic entering or exiting the parking lot. They don’t care if they get struck by a car (that would just me...
Students’ reflections on the 2016 election
November 7, 2016

The price tag. It influences where people choose to go to school, and many people don’t even apply to certain colleges based on annual tuition. But should price limit where people apply? I would argue it should not. Where you apply to college should be based solely on whether it is right for...
