I love to program, make videos, and work on The Jet Jotter. I took the journalism elective sophomore year and have loved it ever since. My favorite part is reporting as well as layout parties where we drink tea and eat pizza at my house. If you have any comments on the website, reach out, I made it 🙂

Opinion Editor
My name is Mitchell Brecht and am a junior at Longmeadow High School. I love to run and I run for the school’s cross country team as well as the outdoor track team. I love history and politics, and therefore spend a lot of my time studying those subjects. My position at The Jet Jotter is an opinions writer and the main focus of my articles is a materialist analysis of historical events and world politics.
