Ella Chase is a senior at Green Hope High School, and this is her first year writing for the GH Falcon. She’s most interested in learning the ins and outs of journalism and reporting, favoring broadcast journalism as a possible career pathway. Writing allows Ella the freedom of painting a picture with words – creating work that not only flows but also structures her point. Having others understand her point, not only through the words in particular but also in how they’re written, is something she finds captivating. Ella is involved in her school in many ways, as the Senior Class President and vice president of DECA. She is a full-time member of the Green Hope soccer team and, on weekends, coaches a U7 Miracle League team, working with those with special needs. Despite her busy schedule, you can find her enjoying hiking and thrifting. Her best academic work comes from English-based classes. In her early years, hockey played a huge role in Ella’s life. While living in Boston the first ten years of her life, she enjoyed not only coaching but playing her favorite sport. Ella values the time that she once put into this sport and still plays when visiting her hometown. She now turns her skill and attention to the GH Falcon and is excited to contribute this year.
