Libby McCarthy, Editor-in-Chief

Senior, Libby McCarthy is quite possibly the most awkward person on the planet and is almost never serious. She can frequently be found making references to Saturday Night Live sketches that nobody understands. She's also a Netflix and Nutella aficionado and usually spends her afternoons binge-watching Gilmore Girls or anything that's on HGTV (especially Property Brothers). Libby spends her time at school trying to figure out how to do life and calculus, and wondering why Hinsdale Central isn’t like High School Musical. You can contact Libby at [email protected].
