As if leaving Academy wasn’t enough to get the seniors in their feels, this week, as we write our very last Achona story, we realize how far we’ve come. Every senior has something unique that they have brought to the Achona staff. Whether they have been a part of the Achona team for one year or four, they all share a common passion for Journalism and the Academy. We wish the best for our girls and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of them. In order to remember their Achona legacy, here are their profiles:
