 We, as the Courier staff, are officially transitioning, and the current editors are saying goodbye. We are sad to see them go, but we are excited to bring a new perspective to the publication. We have loved working on The Courier as writers and section editors, but now as co-editors in chief we eagerly await the opportunity to have more responsibility and help the class reach its full potential. 

I’m Audrey Del Vecchio, and I’m excited to say that I will be one of the editors in chief for the 2026-27 school year. I am looking forward to being able to get more involved with the newsmagazine, produce issues that I am proud of and create a fun environment for the whole class. 

Courier has been one of my favorite classes for the past two years, and I have loved getting to spend time with my friends while also getting opportunities to write about topics that I am passionate about. I have learned so much in this class already, and I can’t wait to continue to grow in my writing as well as a person. 

Some of my favorite memories of Courier so far have been going on the ad field trips with my friends, laughing daily in class, the early morning sell days and getting the opportunity this year to have a sports column, “In the Zone” with Cate. 

Outside of Courier, I am a part of National Honor Society, French National Honor Society, Student Council, Interact Club and Orange United. I also am on varsity football and basketball cheer. 

I can’t wait to get to know the new members of Courier next year and continue to make new memories together. I know that the publication next year will be amazing with so many people working together. 

Hi, I’m Lyla Bice, and I will also be a writing editor in chief this year along with Audrey! Being a part of The Courier has helped me to grow in so many ways, and I am really looking forward to serving in this position for my senior year. I am so grateful for the opportunity to help lead the publication and to continue producing The Courier for our students, staff and community. 

My favorite part of Courier is definitely the people. I have met and grown close with so many people through this class, and we have made so many memories that I cherish. Whether we are doing field trips, sell days, group bonding, food Fridays or just in class daily, we always have such an amazing time together.

Another thing I love about the Courier is its versatility. I love being able to write about all different kinds of subjects and being able to cover everything from news stories about big world events to culture stories about the Amish community. Exploring different styles of writing and learning about all sorts of different topics is so much fun and interesting, and I love being able to share what I find through the publication.

Along with being a part of The Courier, I also participate in National Honor Society, Science and Music National Honor Societies and Interact Club. I am in the OOHS Drumline, and I am also the social media manager for Olentangy Model UN. 

I am so excited for the publication next year, and I am even more thrilled to be leading with Audrey and our design editors, Taylor and Carter. I couldn’t ask for a better team to lead the class with next year. 

I’m Taylor Guzek, and I am going to be one of the design editors in chief next year. My favorite part of the class this past year has been getting to meet all the people that I wouldn’t have met without it. Outside of The Courier, I am a rower at Olentangy Rowing Club, and I am a part of National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Interact Club and Pioneer Ambassadors. I am very excited to be an editor next year and can’t wait to lead with the other editors.

My name is Carter Shilling, I am currently a designer for Orange’s Courier but will take on the role of design editor in chief for next year’s issues. I am excited to get to work more in depth on each and every issue next year. For my extracurriculars, I run cross country for the school and play club rugby called the Blues for Olentangy. I also play the piano and have been involved in out of the country visits with the school, including the trip to Costa Rica last year with the AP Environmental teacher Mrs. Timmons where we studied Leatherback Sea Turtles off the coast and so much more.

We are so grateful and excited for this opportunity to lead the Courier and make it our own. We are sure that we will continue producing quality content that we are proud and eager to share.
