Recently, members of the Quill and Scroll Honor Society visited the nation’s capital to explore both journalistic and cultural aspects of the city. The group went to the Newseum, met with Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, toured the monuments, visited Politico, and explored the Capitol.
Leah Heon is a senior at Middletown High School and is in her fourth semester of journalism. After high school, she plans to pursue either broadcast journalism or political science at a four-year university, as she has grown to love and has developed a passion for these fields throughout her time at MHS. Outside of school, Leah enjoys playing tennis with her teammates, reading, playing board games and driving around town with her two brothers. Leah decided to try something new her senior year and play on the golf team, a game which has tested her patience at times. Throughout this semester of journalism, Leah hopes to broaden her horizons in journalism and practice outside of the box thinking.
