Veronica Meiss, Online Editor-In-Chief

Hello! My name is Veronica Meiss and I am the Web Editor-In-Chief of the Northwest Passage. My whole life is practically in room 151. On the rare occasion I am not thinking about something newspaper-related, I can be found in the band room, fulfilling my Drum Major responsibilities for the Marching Cougar Pride. Whenever I’m at home, I am doing school work – even during the summer when I should be enjoying free time – while watching Gilmore Girls in my living room. In the three years I have been on staff, I have always had a passion for this website and I am beyond excited to be in charge of smnw.com. Be prepared to see a lot of me this year

Grieving the loss of the final football game, sophomore Jonty Harris-Webster talks with coach Brian Vesta Oct. 28 in the Blue Valley West Football Locker Room. The Cougars lost to the Jaguars 28-52. “It was a tough loss,” Harris-Webster said, “Knowing that you won’t be playing with some of the seniors and your brothers is very raw and emotional.”
