Callie Boren, Fall Co-Editor-in-Chief

Hey! My name is Callie Boren, and I am Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Eagle’s Tale. This is my third and final year on staff. I am also the National Honor Society president, senior class president, an officer in the Chamber Choir, and a member of the UIL journalism team and Quill and Scroll Honor Society. In my free time I enjoy reading anything by C.S. Lewis, singing loudly to anything by Adele, watching musicals, and drinking excessive amounts of sweet tea. Next year I plan to major in communication sciences and disorders on the path to becoming a clinical audiologist. Until then, I look forward to another great year with the Eagle’s Tale staff!
