Staff Profile

Andrew Havasy –– Senior Staff Writer

Hey, my name’s Andrew Havasy and I’m Currently a J-4 on the Saxon Scope. I’ve been doing journalism since 7th grade and was sooo pumped to be a part of the Saxon Scope staff. Few true journalists took Journalism 1, when it was a class all on it’s own where we barely touched the scope and learned about grammar, but my partner in J-Crime Nikki Cheshire knows what I’m talking about. If I’m not in room 114, (which is impossible to find to non Scopiees) I’m in the Pool practising for Swim and Dive or after school for my numerous activities such as Cross Country, Debate, Model United Nations, and tons of science classes. I look forward to every issue with enthusiasm because each Scope is unique and filled with all our hard work. This year I’m planning on taking it up a notch and truly making the phrase My Life is Journalism my own, although Will Khairalla pretty much has it covered. So look out for numerous stories and pages done by yours truly, Andrew Havasy.
