• A POINT OF PRIDE: Congrats to senior Jack Montesinos on his commitment to attend TCU where he will major in music performance 🐸. The classical bass professor reached out to me to have a trial lesson and we vibed a lot, Montesinos said of why he was drawn to TCU. The location of the campus was also a selling point. I like Fort Worth too, and the live music scene in DFW is pretty killer. Also I wanted to stay in Tejas 🤠. Montesinos said he'd like to give a shout out to all the teachers who helped him get to this point. Speaking of which, he said everyone should go check out @the.point.music. #MacSeniorWall2020 #KnightTime #Seniors2020 #MacSeniors2020 #OnceAKnight #AlwaysaKnight #tcu #texaschristian @texaschristianuniversity #tcutogether #fortworth #dfw #classof2020🎓

  • Seniors Joe Roddy (foreground) and Dalton James (background) are headed to @accdistrict in the fall: Roddy to major in film and James in audio engineering. I mainly chose ACC because the people I’ll most likely be surrounded by are from many different backgrounds, and I think that would be really cool to work with because there’d be a lot of cool people, Roddy said. Plus it's close to home. As for his time at Mac, Roddy said, Yea we had fun while it lasted. We both wanna shout out senior 2020. Y’all already know what it do. Keep it real. #macseniorwall2020 #KnightTime #Seniors2020 #MacSeniors2020 #OnceAKnight #AlwaysaKnight #classof2020🎓

  • Lindsey Wagner, 27, is an Intensive Care Unit nurse. Each morning, she carefully slips on a mask and takes a deep breath, battling the all-so-familiar coronavirus on the frontlines. She knows the risks but also the profound payoff of being an ICU nurse right now. But long before she had heard of the coronavirus or COVID-19 — even before the idea of applying for medical school even danced across her mind — Wagner spent her time not in training classes or at the hospital, but in the McCallum band hall. Please read our complete profile of Wagner, a Class of 2011 Knight alumnus, to learn more about how nurses and health-care workers are fighting COVID-19 every day. The link to the story is in our bio. Photos from the 2011 Knight and courtesy of Wagner. #KnightTime #OnceAKnight #AlwaysaKnight #Classof2011 #covid_19

  • Congrats to senior Sophie Knifton on her comittment to attend the University of Chicago this fall as an English major with an Art History minor. She said she ended up choosing @UChicago because it has been her dream school for all of high school and because she was named a Deans Scholar. Knifton was accepted into 10 schools, including Northwestern, Barnard and Vassar. Her mom, Kristin Knifton, told MacJouralism today that she is bummed that Sophie will be so far from home but that she looks forward to visiting her in the Windy City. #MacSeniorWall2020 #KnightTime #Seniors2020 #MacSeniors2020 #OnceAKnight #AlwaysaKnight #UChicago #Chicago #WindyCity #classof2020🎓

  • Featherstone, Bohls-Graham and Ramsay were multi-taskers this morning outside the front of the school, distributing Class of 2020 yard signs to seniors (among their customers this morning Max Schultz and Eliana Schumann shown here) and attending departmental meetings via Zoom. Featherstone even made a presentation to the English department from the yard-sign distribution point. Impressive. Most impressive. Photos by Elaine Bohls-Graham and Dave Winter. #daythelifeatmac

  • Mayor Steve Adler showcased freshman Martin Vlasits' Art 1 project on Thursday in a 16th birthday shout out for Martin on Adler's weekly Facebook Live broadcast, Got a Minute. The assignment in Mrs. O'Keefe's class was to recreate a famous work of art in a photograph, and Martin chose David Bates' 1983 work, The Whittler, which is at the @BlantonMuseum of Art. I am inspired by Martin's use of art as a coping mechanism [for this pandemic], Adler said during the broadcast. I want to wish Martin a very happy 16th birthday. I love this. This is great. We agree, @mayorsteveadler. All of us at MacJournalism would also like to wish Martin a belated happy birthday. We hope you had a great day yesterday. You can see the whole shout out on the mayor's Facebook page. Screenshot taken from Mayor Adler's Facebook page.

  • CHOMEINA GAKUSHA: Mr. Nishida shared with us the Japanese language students who have qualified for the McCallum Foreign Language Honor Society. To qualify, students in Japanese 4 or 5 had to earn a grade of 85 of higher in both the fall and spring semesters. Students in the first three years of Japanese had to have at least a 90 average both semesters. Congrats to all of these students on the making the grade. #dayinthelifeatmac

  • FROM FERRARIS TO MINIVANS: This past Sunday, Ms. Adamson and her daughter got to experience something truly special. After visiting her son, an EMT who has been on the long road to recovery from COVID-19, Adamson saw something in the news that caught her eye. “I saw that if we take food to the Circuit of the Americas for the Austin Food Bank, then we could drive on the track.” Adamson said. “We both got super excited to go.” Infatuared with Formula One since she was young, this was an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up. “The only sport I like more than F1 is high school football, Adamson said. I used to just lay on the floor and watch it with my dad.” The experience, Adamson said, lived up to her expectations. “The event was super well-organized. It took us an hour and a half in total to drop off food, drive on the track and leave. I was amazed. You got to go through the tunnels and everything, we saw every car from Ferraris to mini vans.” Driving on the track was a dream come true, and Adamson couldn’t be more grateful to those who organized the event. “Everyone was so appreciative of people dropping off food, Adamson said. It was so neat that it happened on Mother’s Day. It was so exciting.” Caption by Javier Vela. Photos courtesy of Diana Adamson. @cota_official @f1 #formulaone #cota #circuitoftheamericas #covid_19
