Comas is very involved in the school. She is in several clubs including Environmental Science Investigations club, French club, Quill and Scroll, and National Honors Society. She is also a Student Council representative for the junior class and chair of StuCo Public Relations for the second year in a row.
Reading is one way Comas enjoys spending her time. She has read “To Kill A Mockingbird” eight times and “Pride and Prejudice” twice. These books are among her personal collection of over 500 books.
Movies are also another way she enjoys spending her time. Two of her favorites are “Pride and Prejudice” and “Dead Poets Society.”
“I can recite that movie from memory,” Comas said about the 2006 Pride and Prejudice by Focus Features Films.
Sketching, playing the flute and poetry are also other interests of hers.
Comas has had a couple journalistic honorable mentions including a mention at KSPA State Competition for Multimedia Storytelling and a mention at JEA/NSPA National Conference for Opinion/Editorial writing.
Comas is looking forward to another year as a journalist at MHS.
“I’m really excited for this year and I really hope that … it goes well.”
