Mason Landis is a freshman starting his first year as a writer for the Century Star. During his time here, Landis hopes to cover topics that are both important and engaging. "Nobody wants to read about something that doesn't affect them, or speak to them in some way," Landis said.
Landis has consistently found success in the classroom, qualifying for honor roll in middle school, and the President's Award for Academic Excellence in middle and elementary school.
Outside of class, Landis keeps busy with a wide range of activities, including cross country, track, and archery.
Besides sports, Landis also enjoys activities that challenge his mind, such as robotics. Landis has found great success participating in robotics, and he was part of a team that qualified for the state level in 2023, 2024, and 2025, along with the world level in early 2025. "Being at worlds was an unforgettable experience," Landis said.
In the free time he has, Landis enjoys settling down with a good book, playing video games, and hanging out with his friends.
Landis hopes to go to college and get a degree in digital and graphic design, which has always been his passion. "We'll see where life takes me," Landis said.
