Spencer Cordle is a returning Journalism staff member and a sophomore at Heritage High School. He is excited to enter the new year and see what this school year has to offer. Journalism is one of his favorite classes and led to the discovery of new passions such as photography and journalistic honesty. When he isn’t at school or in his room, he usually spends quality time with his loved ones and friends, whether at one of their houses or somewhere out in town. Outside of his work in Journalism, he is also interested in various forms of art, like painting and photography, as well as music, cooking, true crime, and reading. Spencer enjoys bands and artists from all genres, but some of the highlights include Radiohead, She Wants Revenge, The Cure, The Smiths, and Mitski.
