Eye of the Storm was founded by Elyse Kim '21 in fall 2018. Under the guidance of Academic Technologist Eli Fendelman, EOTS quickly expanded during its first year and produced 11 original videos. Most notably, the 2018-2019 school year featured varsity sports previews and series like “Back Home on the Hilltop” and Vogue-inspired “37 Questions.” 

Multiple exciting developments accompanied the 2019 school year. First, the club launched “The Thunderclap,” a podcast which features commentary on school news and interviews with students and teachers. Through the podcast, EOTS has partnered with WSLX, SLS’s radio station: WSLX airs “The Thunderclap” twenty minutes before every hour. Finally, with the notable contributions of Brian Douglas '21, Doron Loewenberg '21, and Zachary Amendola '21, EOTS launched this website to house projects and behind-the-scenes pictures.  

Fall 2020 was a milestone for Eye of the Storm, as membership grew to over 60 students and producers Brian Douglas '21 and Elyse Kim '21 collaborated on a virtual tour video for the school. Though faced with challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, EOTS members continued to embrace opportunities to grow as editors, videographers, and interviewers.

With heavy hearts, Eye of the Storm watched Elyse Kim and Bryan Douglas graduate from St. Luke’s in the spring of 2021. We will miss them dearly as their legacy continues on in our foundation and growth as a club. When school resumed, a few months later, Catherine Clark ‘22, Olivia Lee ‘24 and Michael Luther ‘24, stepped into the roles of the club’s leaders. As we continue to work with the new developments of COVID-19, Eye of the Storm looks forward to releasing new videos and podcasts to our community and beyond.
