[EDITORS COLUMN] One Year of Quarantine at Culver City High School: An Introspective

Posted on March 22, 2021 by Brandon Kim

It might be hard to remember now, but once upon a time, quarantine was actually a good thing. I still recall vividly the day that Culver City High School, CCHS, shut its doors in response to the pandemic. COVID-19 cases were rapidly rising across Los Angeles County, back during a simpler time when reports of…

(Editors Column) The Most Difficult?And Rewarding?Thing About Literary Editing

Posted on February 7, 2021 by Brandon Kim

The hardest part about editing, for me, has never been the decision that comes with it. To publish or reject, to accept or decline?with a few tough exceptions, all of that seems to be pretty obvious once you’ve gotten the general sense of the publication’s specific standards. Each magazine or journal is different, but once…

(Editors Column) Art as an Essential Component of a Healthy Society

Posted on January 10, 2021 by Brandon Kim

It’s rare that art is looked upon as a useful profession in society. Certainly, it doesn’t garner a reputation for being well-paying – which is why you’ll hardly find parents telling their children to be artists rather than doctors or engineers. And why would it? To many of the population, art has long been the…

[Editor’s Column] Do Runners Need to Wear Masks?

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Brandon Kim

It was all greetings and smiles when Culver City High School’s cross country team returned for the new school year – albeit virtually. The Zoom meeting represented the second time the team had seen each other in nearly five months, and while hardly serving as a substitute for in-person interaction, the relief was obvious. The…

[Editor’s Column] Online Learning Plan Answers Few Questions

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Brandon Kim

When Culver City High School, CCHS, decided to close its doors on the last day before spring break, it left its thousands of students unsure how learning would continue in the wake of COVID-19. When school resumed virtually, two weeks later, the result was a rushed, haphazard plan that raised more questions than it was…
