Katelyn Priestley, Reporter

Hello, my name is Katelyn Priestley, and I am a junior at ADM High School. This is my first year on the News Journalism staff. Outside of journalism, I am involved in basketball, Student Council and FCA. I joined journalism to become more involved with my school and community. My future goal is to go to the University of Iowa and pursue a marketing degree. I look forward to writing stories about sports and activities happening in our school.
