Reevaluate Civitalks

April 30, 2014

Contrary to what the five tests you have this week might lead you to believe, the year is winding down, and fast. It’s the season of assessment (and promposals and Assassin 3.0) — AP exams, finals...

Don’t sacrifice diversity for convenience

Lauren Sonnenberg October 15, 2013

We all have secrets.  Some secrets are the result of things we keep private from others for fear that we might be judged harshly.  Some secrets just happen, not because of anything we do or say, but...

Your shutdown rundown: what you need to know

Claire Goldsmith October 15, 2013

You’ve probably heard a lot about the debt ceiling and the shutdown in recent weeks, but it’s admittedly pretty hard to understand the complex fiscal policies and decisions of the United States. So,...

Take a moment to think

Chronicle Staff September 25, 2013

School is a place for thinking. You wrack your brain for the right formula during an AP Physics test, you pick the most insightful point you can contribute to a discussion in English, you figure out the...

Appreciate the opportunity

Chronicle Staff September 25, 2013

Let’s give a hand to Homecoming Formal and to the prefects and administration members who made it happen. This Saturday, Sept. 28, 10th, 11th and 12th graders will get to come together and celebrate...
