Charles Jiang, Head News Editor, Business Manager

Charles Jiang is a senior at Claremont High School currently serving in his fourth year on the Wolfpacket as the Head News Editor. Throughout his years on the Wolfpacket, Jiang has grown to develop a strong love for writing, whether that be academic, creative or anything in between. Outside of the Wolfpacket, Jiang devotes his time as a community leader actively finding ways to become more deeply immersed in the Claremont community and helping others. He also enjoys reading about economics and politics, playing tennis, spending time with family and friends and traveling across the world. While still unsure about his future career, Jiang is sure about one thing: his goal to travel the world in order to satisfy his never-ending curiosity of the variety of unique cultures, history, and perspectives across the globe.
