“This publication has and will continue to create dynamic stories and to promote progressive thinking, always with an attention to our roots and always giving the reader a chance to be curious.” Kaitlyn Sandvik, 16

“I want to push boundaries and test new waters in an increasingly multi-media class and world; however, as much as I’d love to trailblaze I have to keep in mind what the Courant  predecessors have constructed before me. The ultimate goal is to use the fantastic name the Courant has maintained and guide her through another year where the tendencies, interests and issues of the student body shifts.” Jennifer Levine, 17
