About the Contributors

Melissa Schill, Editor in Chief

Melissa Schill is a senior at NCHS. This is her third year working for the Inkspot, and she is the Editor in Chief. Melissa is also involved in the Principal Advisory Committee and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Random fact about me: I was homeschooled in 7th and 8th grade. Farthest I’ve been from home: Nairobi, Kenya. Likes: Dancing, writing, hiking, and traveling. Guilty pleasure: Brownies and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Keyairah Sinclair, Associate Editor

Keyairah Sinclair is a senior year at Normal Community High School and a cheerleader for her third year. She has been apart of the Inkspot team for two years and hopes to do big things her last year in the class. I am interested in seeing all the options for majors in college, not wanting to rush into anything that I will hate later on in life. My biggest pet peeve is being interrupted in the midst of talking. My all-time dream is to be acknowledged for doing something I am really passionate about.

Ashleigh Brady, Managing Editor

Ashleigh Brady is a senior at Normal Community High School and a 3rd year member of the Lady Iron Track and Field Team. She worked as a staff reporter her junior year and a sports editor her senior year. I am interested in pursuing Journalism at the University of Alabama. If I won a million dollars I would buy season tickets for the Chicago Blackhawks for the rest of my life.

James Broach, Sports Editor

James Broach is a senior at NCHS, where he plays varsity tennis. He has worked for Normal Community’s Inkspot for 3 years as a reporter. My biggest pet peeve when teachers don’t dismiss students when the bell rings. A random fact about me is that I am the 4th James Broach. My great-grandfather was the very first James, my grandpa and dad are the 2nd and 3rd. If I won a million dollars I would go on a vacation to California.

Will Dowell, Multimedia Editor

Will Dowell is a senior at Normal Community High School and he plays on the baseball team. This is his third year being a part of the Inkspot staff. My favorite film is Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. If I won a million dollars, then I would by 2 million Frosties from Wendy’s. The slogan that I live by is “There is no such thing as an inappropriate joke, that’s why it’s a joke.”-Michael Scott.
