Q&A with the SBO candidates

This year, there was no public forum or debate as a result of one uncontested Student Body Officer ticket. After interviewing the candidates, The Scout picked out the most important information from each candidate for students to review before voting on the ballot March 27…

Burning Bridges to Light the Way

Cliques are a part of high school – at least they were at Evanston Township High School. Don’t believe me? The movie “Mean Girls” was actually based off ETHS. The cliques there aren’t necessarily as cliché as they were in the movie, but you could…

Stop talking, start doing

Student Senate passed the Pronoun Resolution at its General Assembly meeting Monday after two weeks of discussion and multiple semesters of similar conversations.

The day will forever be burned in my memory. I was in sixth grade, about one-and-a-half-feet shorter and 10 pounds heavier than I am now (I was a chubby kid). I was definitely not the most popular kid in middle school. However, if you don’t…

Pronoun policy a step toward equality

Next week, Student Senate will vote on its new Pronoun Resolution, which seeks to provide a way for students to choose the pronouns for their profiles on Sakai and Webster (Read HEADLINE on PAGE for more information). This means a transgender student may soon be…
