Karleigh Schwarzl, Editor-in-Chief

Hi, my name is Karleigh Schwarzl. This year is my fourth year on the Digest! I am this years Editor-In-Chief and I am so excited for this opportunity. Last year I won third in the state competition for my football story, first in the state for photo essays, and I won the Luther Masingill Award. I plan to attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to major in Graphic Design. I am so excited for what this year has to hold!
