The Quill

John Harvey V’26 and Kevin Cocheres-Bumble’26

Hello dear readers, and welcome to the website of our school's newspaper, The Quill. This year holds tons of exciting new things for our school newspaper. The Quill has been the voice of Greenport students for generations and is a place of creative freedom that allows students to express their thoughts and opinions. As the Co-Editor-in-Chief, I am thrilled to help publish, edit, and write articles that are pitched to The Quill. Anything that you put your mind to is possible. Let that flourish with the help of the Quill.

The Quill is not just a club or the school newspaper; it is a family. As the Greenport Quill Chief Editor and President, I ensure that all students in the program have their voices heard. The students in this club have opportunities to write and share their perspectives on various topics and events, expressing their thoughts and feelings. We also have sections focusing on sports or schoolwide events, which could bring recognition to small new programs and get more students involved. The Greenport Quill brings the school together.

Here you are able to get to know everyone and make connections in a meaningful way.”
