Meghan Duncan , Sports Editor

Hi, my name is Meghan Duncan. This is my third year on the staff and my second year being the sports editor. I have been cheering for 3 years at Central, and I am apart of the Superintendent Youth Council. I was the class vice president for my sophomore year, and for my junior year, I plan on running for President. I volunteer at McKamey Animal Shelter, and after high school I plan on either majoring in journalism or forensic psychology.
