About the Contributors
Rishab Verma, Photo Manager
My name is Rishab Verma. I am a senior this year and am already getting a little sad that graduation is nearing. Pleasant Valley is my favorite place on this planet and I cannot begin to imagine what life will be like when I leave. My favorite teacher, Mrs. Dyer, says I will adjust to college life, but I know I will miss these Spartan hallways more than words could ever say. My hobbies include basket weaving, editing Spartan Shield photos and studying AP style rules.
Alexander Haack, Arts and Entertainment Editor
My name is Alexander Haack, and I am the Arts and Entertainment Editor for the Spartan Shield Online. I am a senior and will be attending Iowa State University for Mechanical Engineering in the fall. I currently play snare in the marching band and sing in the chamber choir. I also run for the track team in the spring and you can rarely find me bagging groceries at Hyvee every few months.
