Mackenzie Blanco, Editor-in-Chief
Mackenzie Blanco, a magnet senior, continues her time on The Chant as Editor-in-Chief for the 2025-2026 school year. Ever since she could remember, Blanco has admired utilizing her writing skills to release her creative thoughts and steadfast opinions. As her third and final year on The Chant unfolds, Blanco envisions her senior year to be full of sweet memories and exciting advancements for the publication while also maintaining a proud stance in her other commitments. Outside of the Pub Office, Blanco can be found spinning her equipment as a Captain of NC’s Color Guard, on walks with her dog Chico Chay, living it up at concerts, baking yummy treats or spending time at church—alongside her favorite people. Blanco also spends her time as a co-leader of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and NC’s Bible study club, Collective Hope, which provides her the opportunity to share the Gospel with students at NC. Blanco desires to spend her last months on staff making an impact on future student journalists and she hopes that The Chant will continue to bring her the inspiration to make an impact on the world with her writing.
