Entrepreneurship


     On the Hi’s Eye staff, we have three business managers who handle our budget as well as subscriptions, fundraisers, and advertisements. Seeing as how we are an entirely student-run, uncensored, independently funded publication, it is up to these business managers to ensure we have enough money to continue publishing the paper. Although these jobs are under the business managers' jurisdiction, there are times in which the entire staff is asked to help out. I have taken part in distributing subscription forms to students and faculty during lunch periods and school events, and I reached out to local businesses in hopes of securing an advertisement. Earlier his year I was in contact with a local cafe called the Juice House as well as the beloved FroYo ice cream shop about potential advertisements. Below you can see our advertisement policy as well as our subscription form.

Writing

     A good journalism article would be nothing without proper writing. A story cannot captivate readers by merely listing facts or spewing statistics, but by speaking to readers and connecting with them through writing. This not only brings entertainment to the piece, but also humanity and personality that cannot be achieved through a fact sheet. Below are two of my stories that demonstrate my writing proficiency.  ‘Mom… I mean Ms…’ Greta Frontero, R2 Editor-in-Chief October 20, 2017 Typically, students spend the first two months of school getting to know their teachers’ personalities and particular teaching styles. However, some WHS students have known one of their teachers for years. The reason is simple—they live together at home. The WHS community is full of parent-child relationships involving students and teachers, which can be a tricky dynamic to navigate. For example, senior Alex Fonseca had his mother, Ms. Maria Garcia, as his Spanish teacher last year. He sa

Leadership & Team Building

In January of this year, the Hi’s Eye published an article that I wrote regarding the recent Juul epidemic that appeared to be sweeping the high school social scene. Although we had published a Juul story last year when the epidemic first broke out to explain what exactly these portable, rechargeable, electronic cigarettes actually were, I reported on the ever-growing trend that does not appear to be improving. In fact, I found that teenage Juul use had only grown over time, so I interviewed students--many of whom had been suspending for Juuling in school--as well as teachers, administrators, and doctors to get to the bottom of the issue. The article immediately created buzz in the school, and it was only a matter of time before a representative from Juul's headquarters reached out to me to issue a formal statement. I was getting recognition from both the school and district administration, and eventually I received an email from a local publication asking if they could publish t

Editing & Design

     As Editor-in-Chief of the Hi’s Eye , I oversee the editing, layout, and design of each of my team’s publications. Not only do I work side-by-side with reporters to edit and resolve stories, but I also guide page editors through layout crises and determine whether or not a story is cut on deadline. It’s not unlikely to find me in the newsroom until seven or eight o’clock at night, working diligently with reporters and page editors alike in order to turn out a final product on deadline. Below you can find links to five particular editions of the Hi’s Eye that show skill in editing as well as creativity in design.
