Kaelin Collar, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! I’m Kaelin, I’m currently a senior at Barlow, and I’ve been apart of the Banner staff since my sophomore year, where I was recruited. I became the Editor-in-Chief of the paper my junior and now senior year. Aside from school itself, I enjoy cooking and baking, reading, binging shows, and spending time with my friends and family. Be sure to check out our issues this year online and in print :)
