Sophia Koch;

noun

1. Junior at South, avid writer, dog lover, C-Team tennis participant, photographer in training

A star member and talented writer on our newspaper staff, Sophia Koch, enjoys writing, eating out with her friends, going to the lake, and weekly trips to the dog park with her yellow lab named Stella. When asked about her spirit animal, “A lion definitely represents me because, well, my hair, and I’m a Leo, so it makes sense,” Koch said. 

Not only does she have a strong opinion about her spirit animal, but she also is sure about her future plans. Koch plans to attend ASU after graduating high school to study journalism. “ASU is home to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism which is one of the best journalism schools in the country so I am super excited,” Koch said. She wants to continue her love for writing and potentially pursue it as a career. 

Until then, Koch is growing her writing at South, along with participating in tennis, track, volleyball, FANS, and potentially starting a new club. She is excited to be able to a part of Newspaper and can’t wait to get started doing what she loves!
