The ad has received substantial backlash for a valid reason--the unusual position of the lighting seems to depict a pointed KKK robe, and the placement of the black shoes evokes imagery of a hanging body. These symbols, though they might not have been purposeful, reminded many viewers of the atrocious, r

What does Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers mean for the MLB?
Credit: Yahoo Sports Disclaimer: Like many students who attend this school, I am a Dodgers fan. However, the purpose of this article is to inform readers about the effects of the Tarik Skubal trade without contributing any bias. There is always a random baseball fan in a small-market city that wishes their team could sign or trade for the biggest names in the sport.

The ERHS Library Transformation
All photos by Claire Duarte The library is our school’s hidden gem, from its lovely community to the lively displays that make it thrive.

This school year, 2025/2026, has brought

The Dissipating Use of School Lockers
Photo taken by Erin If there’s anything that comes to mind when you think of school, it’s books―a lot of them. Each student here at ERHS has their own way of carrying these books, whether it be through a backpack, or a shoulder-bag. But there has always been another way to store your books, a way that has existed since the early 1900s. For some reason though, this way is becoming less popular each year. Lockers were invented in the 1700s, but were only put into schools 200 ye
