Senior, Noah Hlavaty, our production team’s co-editor, puts journalism as a priority. He believes that honest journalism helps keep society civil and aware and that it is a necessity that people are able to access reliable news, and he dreams to provide that.  Outside of classes, he regularly listens to podcasts and plans to create a couple of series during his senior year. Along with spending his free time on podcasts, he also participates in Central Kitsap High School’s Environmental Club. In his final year at Central, he plans to improve his self-discipline and self-motivation. After graduating from high school, he plans to continue to Western Washington University and major in Environmental Science or Journalism and pursue a career in Environmental Restoration or become a reporter for NPR.
