Meet Our Staff!

Hi, my name is Chevelle, and I am a Senior this year. I am the Editor and Social Media Director of the HCObserver. I have been a part of this club for four years, and have been a part of Art club for three. I am also part of the Wildcat Marching Band, Indoor Percussion, and the stage crew for our musical.  Academically, I am part of NHS, and the Homer-Center Current Events team. Outside of school, I enjoy crocheting, and playing video games. I plan on going into the psychology field after high school to do research and services. 

Hello my name is Alexis Mitchell or you can call me Lexi. I am a 11th grade student and I am a part of the HC Observer because I enjoy writing about stuff going on around the school. I am a cheerleader at the school and I am in a bunch of clubs. Some include student council, book club, and interact club. My hobbies include reading, watching shows and movies, doing anything artsy, being outside with family or friends and I do a lot of sleeping.My two favorite seasons are fall and summer because I love the heat but I also look forward to the fall weather when its just starting to get cold and the leaves are falling. I would put down my favorite food but I don’t have a favorite and I don’t have a favorite song either. 

Hello, my name is Oshen J Maratita and I am a Junior at Homer Center Jr/Sr High School. I am a member of the newspaper and media/production of news and information at Homer-Center for the students and community. I am a student-athlete who participates in football and swimming. I enjoy the school and the community Homer Center has which makes my job and responsibilities more important and enjoyable. I am also a student who likes participating in activities at school as well as community activities in which I also report or help to gather information so that our team and media group at Homer Center can get the information and news out to the community as fast as we can with interesting stories. I also enjoy sports of all kinds which I specialize on and report on mostly. If you are a student at Homer you might know me as the ¨sports guy¨ who gives updates on sports in the morning announcements which is a huge privilege and is so fun to do. Being a member of the media team at Homer is a huge honor and is something that is enjoyable. You can really learn a lot of skills that are technical and resourceful which can be very helpful in life.

Thank You so much for reading about me and who I am as a person in the media group at Homer-Center Jr/Sr high school.

I'm Levi Loose, I'm in the Marching Band, Concert Band, and Indoor Percussion. I’m a videographer for the HC observer.

Hi! My name is Landon Shoup. I’m a Sophomore and I am a reporter for the Observer. I enjoy coming to school to increase my knowledge about the world and myself. Outside of school though, I like to read, watch Netflix, and be with my family. Some of the clubs that I am involved in include Interact, Student Council, Youth and Government, Students Against Destructive Decisions, and the Envirothon team. I also throw discus and shotput for track and recently joined the HC swim team. 

Hi I'm Isabelle Rowland, I am in 9th grade and this is my first year in the Observer as a reporter. I play volleyball, basketball, softball, and track. I'm also in the Page Turners book club. I enjoy reading, writing, camping, and hanging out with my friends. My favorite season is fall because I love the cooler weather, smells, and the changing of leaves.

I am a former journalist/broadcaster who left the business to make an impact on kids. My favorite part of teaching is without a doubt my students. In my spare time I love to work in my flower gardens, cook, and read.  My husband Mark and I have two kids, Kierce (15 years old) and Lena (12 years old).  As a family we love to travel the world, camp, hike, and attend Pitt football games.  I'm a diehard college football fan, whose heart belongs to THE Ohio State Buckeyes.
