Kyla Kephart, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Kyla Kephart, and I am a senior. I am the editor for feature and news articles, and this is my second year in Warrior Watch. I am the varsity setter for the volleyball team. Some of my hobbies include spending time with friends and family, playing volleyball, and going to youth group. I am involved in student government, National Honor Society, FCA, Prom Committee, Bocce Ball, and Yearbook. I plan to play volleyball in college and pursue a degree in elementary and special education.
