That’s right, he’s back again. Jackson Corbett, a fourth year member of the one and only HUB newspaper. Along with his monthly editions of the satirical Just Some Jacktivities, someone had the bright idea of giving this guy even more power, making him a Lead Editor. Don’t worry though, he promises to use it responsibly ;).

Alongside the HUB, Jack is a member of the Ecology Club, National Honors Society, Prep Bowl, Jazz Band, Pep Band, and the Stambaugh Youth Concert Band. He is also the president of The Musical Pride of Hubbard and recently became an Eagle Scout. You may be thinking, “Wow, what a nerd.” You’d be 100% correct in this assessment.

Jack plans to attend any college with enough kindness to take him in, but his number one choice is Harvard. Once there, he frankly has no idea what he wants to do. It will probably be something sciencey, though. The HUB has been a fantastic place to hone his writing skills in preparation for the future, and he is truly grateful for the time spent with this organization.
