Kale Nelson, Editor In Chief

Kale is the Editor In Chief of The Lariat newspaper (the backbone of Shadow Ridge High School) and persistent athlete,  who excels at overthinking every little detail in the paper.  In fact, he went through his camera roll four times before choosing this profile picture.  Kale has been in training for this role since he was two years old. Not only is Kale the Editor in Chief of the school newspaper, he is also the President of Mustang Maniacs.
