About the Writer
Emma Caswell, Staff Writer
Hey, y'all! My name is Emma Caswell and I'm a senior this year. This is my first year in Journalism and Authored Ascension and I'm super excited to be involved in it. Since it is my last year here, I plan to contribute more to the school community. Throughout my high school career, I've participated in varsity volleyball and Cupcakes for Causes. I love to travel, binge-watch my favorite shows, and hang out with friends. I can't wait to see our achievements as a class!
