Walking down the rows of shelves, some had their heads engaged in a book, some were pretending to read, and some were looking for a book. A young boy sees all kinds of books in various colors and sizes. One type of book sticks out to him,  a dragon displayed on the front. “Wings of Fire,” it says in red and bold font. As a child, Junior Parker Neville was obsessed with the fantasy genre, finding...

The resonant sound of the bell fills the halls. Eyes glazed over, people walk in robotic-like movements, their pitter-pattering footsteps rushing to get to the next class. Jumbled thoughts accompany text-book-laden backpacks slung over hunched shoulders. Life moves like clockwork; hours pass by with little notice, days bleed together, and suddenly, entire years fade away. But individual habits, however...

It’s nearing 9 AM on a chilly March morning, and students sit in their second-hour classes, only half-listening to the announcements that ring out over the intercom. However, the class of 2024’s attention is caught when they hear an announcement inviting them to “The Grannies: A Senior Event”. The event, scheduled to run from 7:00 to 9:00 PM on May 10th in the auditorium, is in its second...

Brains work and function in different ways. Whether it’s how we walk, talk, or even the most basic functions like reminding you to breathe in and out again. We all are built with beautiful and unique brains. An article from The Very Well Mind states that Neurodivergence is how one’s brain functions in different capacities that would not be seen as typical. There are several different categories...

We all learn and approach our surroundings differently. Our strengths and weaknesses vary because we are all unique. This all comes down to how your brain works. Thinking, problem solving, and information processing are related to the brain. For some people, these functions can be carried out in a way that allows them to interpret the world around them differently. Neurodivergent is the term used...

I stood onstage, everyone clapping and smiling at me for being voted for prom royalty. I felt joyful about being recognized by my peers. In 2016, it was an administrative choice to do away with prom royalty. The administration said it was causing insecurity and was a popularity contest. Before, students were nominated by other students. Now, students will be asked if they would like to participate....

Ask any senior, and they can attest to the many changes that have taken place at MN since they were a freshman. A new teacher, an addition to the building, or a new school policy are yearly modifications at any school. But how do these changes look in the eyes of longtime teachers or faculty who now teach at the school they once called home? MN is home to many former student faculty and longtime teachers...
