Hi! I’m Zack Knust, I am 17, and this is my fourth year in SPUB. I am a Galleries and Graphics Manager. because I really enjoy online writing, photography, and getting to the truth. I am also involved in Scholars Bowl and Theater. I enjoy being around animals of all shapes and sizes and just hanging out with friends. I love video games, board games, movies, trading cards, and comics and enjoy collecting them. I think journalism is important because it is important that everyone learns about what is going on in the school and around the world. I hope to get more people involved in the website and yearbook.
