Carson Paul

Carson Paul, Satire Editor

Carson Hunter Paul-Lopez-Kunkel. Despite his strikingly unique name, he’s a person who embraces a carefree and down-to-earth demeanor and for most, he is just Carson. Self Proclaimed as chill and calm, Paul is a senior at CHS,navigating his last year with poise. He envisions scurrying by with ease while balancing a fulfilling yet extraneous life with many extracurriculars, activities, and friends. A proud member of the Wolfpacket, being the principal (and only) editor of the Satire section, he embraces the chaotic energy of the room. This year he hopes to encapsulate his dry, third grade humor to get a laugh out of our readers and. Most importantly, end a vendetta by making his pages as visually aesthetic to leave the critics and the public stunned. Beyond his editorial talents, Carson is a multifaceted individual. Varying from being a gifted musician, yelling at people every weekend, embodying his role as a Speech and Debate Captain, and of course being an absolute academic weapon, demolishing the IB lifestyle. Aside from that, he manages to be involved in the community as a member of Interact, while also holding principal roles in other teen committees around the school. If he is not busy with conspiracy theories or saving the world, you’ll find him passionately cheering for his idol, Jack, riding his bike. Aiming to inspire, empower, and leave an indelible mark on the world, Carson embodies the essence of limitless potential and unwavering dedication.
