Erin Carley, Staffer

Erin Carley is a senior who spends most of her time outside of Highlander Publications participating in cross country and track, among other activities. If you can’t find her out and about, it’s probably because she’s sitting at home binge-watching “Friends.” Additionally, Erin loves photography, music and writing.

Some of them stayed the whole night with their peers, while most of the adults left to get some sleep. Survivor Drew Wagner, junior, describes his favorite part of the night: “It was immensely powerful to watch the girls shave and donate their hair to such a wonderful cause, without a doubt it will make someone’s day."
