OPINION | Hill prides itself on its students’ accomplishments, whether it be in athletics, arts, or academics. However, what happens to those student leaders who don’t hold a formal title? There is only a small percentage of students from the student body who are SGA representatives, prefects, captains, and/or honor council representatives, but this doesn’t mean that they are the only ones working on projects to change Hill for the better.
Noorie Dhingra ‘21 writes about the importance of recognizing student leaders without a formal title. Full article link in bio.

OPINION | “Leftists should take the progress on the rather wobbly, virus-ridden table now rather than jeopardizing it for some theory that promises them more in four years … Pump the brakes on accelerationism and drink the Kool-Aid that is gradual progress.” Jonathan Carroll ’20 refutes the progressive argument against voting for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

NEWS | Due to the cancellation of recent SAT tests

NEWS | Due to the cancellation of recent SAT tests, different organizations have started exploring the possibility of other solutions. The College Board will provide weekend SAT every month through the end of the calendar year, beginning in August. This includes a new administration in September and the previously schdueled tests on August 29, October 3, November 7, and December 5. In addition, if schools do not reopen this fall, the College Board will provide a digital SAT test for those testing at home, similar to the digital exams which will be provided to 3 million AP students this May. On the other hand, although some of the most competitive universities have kept their door closed, many colleges across the country have made standardized testing optional for its 2021 applicants.

SPORTS | “We don’t get to continue our energy

SPORTS | “We don’t get to continue our energy left off of our record breaking season last year,” Colleen Quinn ‘21, member of the varsity softball team, said. “But I think next season we will be so strong. All this [frustration] built up from losing this season will only carry onto next. I know for me especially, I won’t ever take another time on the field for granted. You never know when you’re going to lose it. I think as a team, we’ll truly play every game of next year with so much grit.”
