My name is Jarrett Taneyhill and I am the Student Life Editor for the BluePrint. I am a senior, and this is my second year in the class.

I write a variety of stories.  I hope to improve my writing and to contribute to the BluePrint in a positive way this year.

Other activities that I am in include FCA, NHS, football, basketball, and baseball.
