For the last week of school before exams, the class of 2024 had a Senior Cookout to spend time together for one last time. The Seniors enjoyed many types of food and drinks for the hot day.

About the Contributor
Jordan Thomas, Editor in Chief
16-year-old junior Jordan Thomas is currently in his fourth semester of journalism, serving as the editor-in-chief this year. Thomas was born in Orlando, Florida and spent most of his childhood there but he eventually moved to North Carolina at nine years old.
“The weather here is definitely way nicer. I like it because it's not always that hot and it's not always raining.” said Thomas
Thomas is also a student-athlete, who plays baseball for the Trojans in the outfield. He has been playing baseball for about 5 years.
When Thomas is not playing baseball, he likes to spend his free time playing video games with friends or listening to music. Thomas enjoys listening to R&B and rap.
“I feel like those genres get me through life.”
When asked about his plans for the future Thomas replied enthusiastically.
“I want to be a sports journalist. I want to be able to interview the players and write a little bit of articles about them.”
Although those are his plans now, they have not always been.
“It's a new thing. When I was in eighth grade, I wanted to do it, but before that I played baseball, so that was probably my dream.”
The West Wind first sparked Thomas’ interests when he first saw a Tiktok at the beginning of his freshman year.
“I was in it last year and I wanted to come back because it was really fun and I get to go for my dreams.”
Thomas’ goal for this semester is to achieve all A’s. “I want to get all A’s. I'm trying, or just A’s and B’s. That's fine too.”
