Jasmina Buranich, Editor in Chief
Jasmina Buranich, a senior at NC, joined The Chant in 2022 to fulfill her passion for editing and learning about the writing techniques of others, sharing her opinions and research and networking with others. As she enters her last year on The Chant, she hopes to create meaningful memories with her fellow editors and reporters, meet new friends, highlight the successes of minority students at NC and continue publishing her research about the criminal justice system. When not writing, Buranich enjoys spending time with her friends, traveling with her family, volunteering in Cobb County and nationally, and helping her classmates with their academic assignments. After high school, Buranich hopes to attend a large university with a diverse student body and, hopefully, a student-led newspaper.
![After months of preparation, NC’s Fine Arts performed Roald Dahl’s “Matilda The Musical Jr.” and put on a wonderful performance for their peers and teachers to enjoy. Hosted in NC’s Performing Arts Center, families watched as the cast sang and danced along the stage. With help from student directors and the lighting and sound crew, the audience fell in love with the beautiful performance executed for them. “Behind the scenes, a lot needs to be done. [There are]the big things, like lights, sound and set, and everything in between. I took care of the little things to make everything run [smoothly]. I would make sure everyone knew what we needed to get done each week and what their roles were for [the] show. I also made sure actors were in place for their cues, set pieces were in place, and props weren’t missing during [the] show,” senior stage manager Emma Henderson said.](https://nchschant.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/cover-matilda-redux-900x600.jpg)
![Taking root during the 17th century, New York City (NYC) rolled out the red carpet for ambitious inhabitants and curious tourists, near and far. The city took rise in popularity during a time of high manufacturing, shipping and fashion. NYC quickly began to promote tourism, especially during the holiday season, when color and high spirits fill the city with excitement. “My favorite time to go to NYC is definitely in the fall, cause it’s not [too] cold yet, and I love seeing all the trees change color, and [watching] the city get ready for the holidays. I’m going to [NYC] for Christmas this year and I’m very excited to see the city in the winter and do all the festive things the city has,” junior Paige Fitz said.](https://nchschant.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/nyc-cover-900x600.png)
![The NC Warriors (8-7) plan out the remainder of their current season in addition to the future of Warrior Lacrosse with their win against the River Ridge Knights (3-13). The team’s offense and defense worked together to score nine points on the Knights and revived their long-awaited revenge. The team will lose several seniors, but the returning players currently establish their goals and expectations for next season. “Well, we have a lot of young bucks on the team and I want them to have all the success in the following years after I graduate. Of course, I want to have a great season [next year], but I want to leave my mark.[ I want to bring up] the younger guys [ and help] develop their skills and knowledge of the game,” junior midfielder Jonathan Godfrey said (7).](https://nchschant.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cover-photo-2-900x571.jpg)
