“Find out who you are and do it on purpose”

— Dolly Parton

Senior Ella Brown is an Editor in Chief and is in her third year of Newspaper. She loves dogs, especially big ones, Keanu Reeves, and the movie Hercules. If given the chance to choose her own super power, Brown would choose Invisibility, so she could sneak into movies for free. She will be attending the University of Alabama as a psychology major with a minor in neuroscience.
