Editor-in-Chief It seems like everything has happened this school year. Trends have appeared, flourished, and then disappeared. New teachers came into the school and others had their final year. There were victories and triumphs as well as defeats and failures. Throughout everything, The Leonid has covered, written, and photographed all the events that made this year unique.
