Hi! My name is Makiah Parris, I’m a senior here at Salida High School. I have been apart of Tenderfoot Times all four years of high school. I started off as a staff reporter my freshman year then moved to sports editor the year after. I am now co-assistant editor and have been since my junior year. I joined Tenderfoot because I wanted to get closer with the community as well as
build my writing skills. Along with being a writer for the school newspaper, I’m also President of National Honor Society here at SHS and an active member in Guidestone volunteering. My hobbies outside of school are mainly sports; volleyball, basketball, and soccer. I’ve only been in Salida for four years now, and I’ve enjoyed every second of it and am excited for what my senior
year has in store for me!
