About the Contributors

Madison Aboud, Associate Editor
My name is Madison Aboud and I am a sophomore at AAHS. This is my second year on Mountain Echo staff and my first year as an Associate Editor. In Jr. high, I was a reporter on the AAJHS Livewire. In my free time, you can find me reading or singing along to my favorite show-tunes. I’ve always had a passion for writing. My ultimate goal after high school is to become a professional journalist. Outside of Mountain Echo, I am in band, chorus, vocal ensemble, student council and Friends of Rachel. I strive to make sure students of AAHS are finding out everything they need to know within a timely manner. I can’t wait for another great year!

Addisen McDonald, Reporter
My name is Addisen McDonald, and I’m a first year staff member on the Mountain Echo. Along with newspaper, I’m also a third year member of the Horseshoe yearbook staff in the position of design editor. Outside of the journalism classroom, I spend my time binge watching “Greys Anatomy,” collecting fun sunglasses and practicing baton. This school year I was given the opportunity to be the AAHS feature twirler, which is leading me to achieve my dream goal of becoming a crimsonette at the University of Alabama. I’m so excited to be on staff this year and, as always, roll tide.

Gracie Gioiosa, Reporter
Hello! I am a senior and this will be my second year writing for the Mountain Echo. At the publication I enjoy writing opinion stories and getting to know people’s stories throughout the interview and research process. Other than writing, I love reading, biking, running, listening to podcasts and being outdoors. Until then, I can’t wait to have another fantastic year writing for the Mountain Echo!
