Mayo Ou, Head Editor-in-Chief

Mayo Ou is the Head Editor-in-Chief of the Wolfpacket and a senior at CHS in her fourth year on the staff. Her goal this year, other than not procrastinating on her college applications, is to figure out how to keep the Wolfpacket functioning and in print with her fellow EICs and the business team. Her passion on the paper is graphic design, but having previously been business and website manager as well as Head News Editor for two years means she knows (and loves) every part of the process. Outside of the Wolfpacket, Ou is the president of German club and Women in STEM, a captain of the cross-country team, runs and pole vaults in track and field, volunteers at the Botanic Gardens, and leads a chapter of KidzCoding, a nonprofit that teaches children how to code. In her nonexistent free time, she likes to read, unicycle, make balloon animals, and chat with her friends, both from Claremont and around the world. She hopes to help everyone have a great year in Wolfpacket!

Wall-to-wall mandated MYP Makes You Panic

Mayo Ou and Caroline Warren
February 14, 2025
With a simple vote, the fate of thousands of future CHS underclassmen was decided—and they did not know it was happening. On Monday, January 13, 2025, teachers at CHS held a vote on the future of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP) in most freshman and sophomore classes. Spoiler alert: they have made MYP classes mandatory.
