As with every school year, seniors prepare to graduate and new people take over leadership positions. The A-Blast is no different.

The A-Blast shifted leadership to a new group of students today as positions for the 2015-2016 school year were announced in a meeting.

The new Editors in Chief are juniors Summar Ayoub and Zeke Yonas. The Managing Editor will be junior Alex Zernik.

In order for the leadership change to run smoothly, the new leaders will complete the last two issues of The A-Blast for this year under the supervision of the current leaders, seniors Jarod Golub, Berta Tarqui and Chelsea Alfonso.

These staff positions were chosen after careful deliberation between the Editors in Chief and Managing Editor from this year and the Adviser, Alan Weintraut.

Everyone was put in a position that we hope they will excel in to make The A-Blast the best that it can be.

The staff list as it stands now is as follows:

In the event that you do not see your name or someone you know, or they are a walk-on, they should be considered a staff writer for now.
