Sam Smith, Co-Editor in Chief

Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m a senior at ROHS. This is my second year on the Acorn Newsmagazine Staff, and I’m proud to be an editor along with my good friend Natalie! I love school, but I also love running, swimming, reading, spending time with loved ones, and playing guitar. I love hanging out with my cat and catching up on rest when I have free time, and my favorite kind of sushi is nigiri. I’m ready to make my last year at ROHS a great one and give my all for the magazine!
