Hi guys! My name is Avery and I'm the Chief of Photography this year. I've been on staff since my freshman year and I was the Sports Photography Editor last year. I'm involved in numerous clubs and activity's around Dunbar including Dunbar Culture Society, senior executive board, leaders in the making, Quill & Scroll Honor Society, Kentucky Thespians, and musical theatre. I'm hoping to get more people involved in the program and photography in general; I want to leave a good program and leader behind for the 23-24 school year.
