Photo by Logan Ray You might see Mr. Whitlock around school, rocking his thrifted “performative male” clothing and sipping matcha. He’s the new 9th grade counselor for the class of 2029, and hopes to continue counseling for a very long time.

Photo taken by Nyda Hosack Passing through the third floor of the liberal arts building in Eagle Rock, students have no doubt come across Ms. Saikaly’s vibrant and cheerful classroom.

Photo taken by Nyda Hosack If you’ve ever had Ms. Stough, you should know that her first name is Nay, pronounced like Bill Nye.

Also I just think they're super cool in general, there's not much to it. It's also fun to flex a facial piercing on other middle schoolers.” Janie Brogie “I’ve wanted ear piercing

As the school year begins, we decided to photograph some of the amazingly unique shoes here at Eagle Rock. We asked them each a question or two, trying to understand their personal thoughts about their shoes. Enjoy! All photos by Eva Jones Margot Moynihan (Grade 9) Where did you hear about them and are they comfortable?  “I saw them on pinterest, and I’ve seen pictures of them and I liked them. They are very comfortable, they’re like my most comfortable shoes.” Laura Ramos (G

Photos by Cadence Kang I truly believe a classroom tells you a lot about what kind of teacher you're getting. So whenever I walk into a new class for the first time, I am quick to judge. However, when I walked into Ms. Tellez’s classroom, I loved it. If you don’t already know her, Ms. Tellez is a History teacher and has been for 5 years. This year, she has taken on 8th-grade U.S History as well as AP World History. Whether you know her or not, she is sure to offer a helping h
