Crouching behind the counter, junior Lauren Clayton and seniors Nora Vedder and Alex Drum sit behind their entries for a family-friend gingerbread house competition. Competitors spent just about an hour on entries and voted on the top three houses. I had a lot of fun making my house, Vedder said. I always watched A Charlie Brown Christmas when I was little, so when we decided to do the competition I knew I wanted to do Snoopys doghouse.

In a graphic created in Canva, a stock image of a person on a computer accompanies lined paper with the text Performance Tasks Benefit Student Learning. Students are assigned performance tasks or assessments within the last week of school before winter break as a semester final. The performance tasks students are assigned depend on the course they are in and the content students need to show knowledge of, similar to an exam, but performance tasks are typically project-based.

Hunched over their table, Art I students and freshmen Owen Powell, Hooper Harris, Karan Mandela and Harry Crystal draw self portraits for a project. In the attached editorial, the Eagle Nation Online staff takes the stance that artificial intelligence art generators hurt artists businesses. Artists are already losing business because of A.I. art generators, said sophomore Jake Radcliffe, who wrote this piece on behalf of the editorial board. Commissioning a piece of art from an artist can be expensive and time-consuming. On the other hand, using an A.I. to generate art is generally fairly cheap or free and almost instantaneous.

The collage above combines photos of choir director Crystal Chamberlain, principal Nicholas Jones, assistant principal Lute Croy and coach Brandon Womack. Three out of the four leaders are new this year, apart from Chamberlain, and they have spoken about their passions, as well as excitement regarding their work and Prosper High School. “This high school is the best high school in the district, Jones said. We have the best kids in the district, and we are very proud of that.”

Above the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, sophomore Jake Radcliffe and sixth grader Julia Radcliffe zip over a verdant pine-oak forest. They visited the CLIMB Works Zipline Course in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to do something they had never done before. At first, I was pretty afraid of zip lining that high up, Jake said. But when we actually started going, I had lots of fun — especially when we went upside-down.

A digitally constructed image by senior journalist Morgan Reese displays two photos of restroom closures and door installation taken by senior Alyssa Clark and junior Kalyani Rao. The school installed doors on the bathrooms in November. The administration currently has no plans to reopen the closed restrooms.

Editorial: Open the restrooms

As the sun rises, senior Christi Norris captures the start of a new day in Salo, Italy. Norris spent Spring Break on her senior trip in Italy and France. She went to Milan, Salo and Rome in Italy, as well as Normandy, Mont Saint Michel and Paris, France.

Since the recovery from the COVID-19 lockdowns, students have noticed an increase in inappropriate social media accounts. Opinion writer Caleb Audia created this graphic with Canva to show his opinion of the staff of the newspaper. In the attached editorial, he and co-writers Christi Norris and Gabriella Winans call for an end to posts that could hurt people. If students find themselves victims of one of these accounts, they can report the it on the Instagram app by clicking on the three dots, selecting the Report option, and selecting Report Account.

Picking out her outfit, executive opinion editor and senior Alyssa Clark looks at a skirt she bought from Forever 21. Forever 21 is along the many online and real stores that mass-produce clothing, like ROMWE or H&M. Customers are not purposefully harmful for buying from websites like SHEIN — theyve been blindsided, Clark said. Society needs clothes, and the pressure of social media and classmates outfits causes students to feel pressured to wear a certain, trendy style.

Editorial: Fast fashion effects hurt

Instruments in the air, the Prosper Mighty Eagle Band performs during the new student pep rally Thursday, Aug. 5. This gathering marked one of the many programs created this year to welcome students to the school. I was really excited about the freshman/new student pep rally because it presented a great opportunity to help students feel welcome and be immersed into the Eagle Nation environment, spirit leader organizer Natalie Merrill said. We want to continue to foster an engaging sense of school spirit, and pep rallies are a perfect way to do so.

While she looks up at the flowers, senior Soomin Chung rests on a bench at Herb Island in Pochen, South Korea. Over the summer, Chung visited this country, which is where she was born. Due to COVID-19 precautions, South Korea required two weeks of quarantine for anyone entering the country in May. The restrictions have changed for those entering the country who are fully vaccinated. The photo give one view of the location, which hosted various plants and flowers for visitors, as well as offered workshops for soap, perfume, and diffusers that use the scent of different herb plants.

To follow school guidelines, ENO staff members wear their masks during class. The district announced on March 4 that students will still be required to wear masks inside the school. Face coverings are required inside the building, but not outside.

Editorial: District made correct decision to continue mask policy

As it calls attention to those who are celebrating National School Counseling Week, a board rests in the Upper House. National School Counseling Week occurred from Monday, Feb. 1, to today, Feb. 5. Students can find counselors and assistant principals when they need them in both the Upper and Lower House office complexes. Students should go out of their way to acknowledge the counselors and thank them for what they do for students, assistant editor Amanda Hare said in the attached editorial. They often go unappreciated, so students should work to express their gratitude for them today.

Editorial: Counselors deserve appreciation for aiding students

As she sits at her desk, senior Emma Hutchinson stares at an image from the Holocaust posted on the BBC website. Holocaust Remembrance Week is held Jan. 25-27, with special curriculum designed by the district. In a world where every event is consumed and processed through the internet and social media, teenagers struggle to understand the impact and reality of a horrible event like the Holocaust, editorialist and ENO Editor-in-Chief Grace Williamson said. In a class discussing the Holocaust, graphic images and videos can be dismissed as a scary movie.

Editorial: Students should remember, prevent Holocaust events

In Light Farms Constellation Park, senior Maddie Moats hammocks between the trees Dec. 28. She went with her friend, senior Reagan Newton, and they shared the hammock as they listened to their favorite music. Moats especially enjoyed the song Figure 8 by Peach Pit on this day.

Writing her Writer of the Year entry for the NSPA contest, rising senior Gabriella Winans sits at her desk. This will be Winans third year writing for the newspaper. I’ve talked to people states away, and it’s allowed me to grow in ways I never expected, Winans said. I believe that just listening to people share their stories can allow you a glimpse into their lives, a walk in their shoes — even if it’s a short one.

An illustration created by graphic designer Mark Chrissan depicts a voting sticker on a mailbox. COVID-19 has caused many citizens to stay at home instead of voting in-person this year. According to the attached ENO Staff-endorsed editorial, mail-in voting is the most effective way to cast votes this year and is the easiest way for Americans to stay safe while also having their vote acknowledged.

Editorial: Mail-in voting gives Americans safer option this election year

Above, Pre-AP and AP Spanish teacher Francisco Salas points to the requirements for what students in Pre-AP Spanish 3 are learning on that day. Mr. Salas holds a Masters of Arts in Spanish Linguistics and Literature, as well as a BBA in Accounting and a BA in Spanish. I love how every day in Spanish 3 we learn something new. Kalyani Rao said. Señor Salas explains grammar concepts in ways that are easy to grasp for us. Every class unit we get closer to becoming fluent.

Football players kneel at the end of practice while their coach talks. The Big 10 and Pac-12 conferences announced their football season will be cancelled for the 2020 fall season. After scrambling for weeks to get things in order, it was obvious cancelling was the best decision for the conference.

Two cell phones show Life 360 notifications and location maps. As of 2018, 18 million families use Life 360. An important part of development for teenagers is gaining their parents trust, ENO staff writers said. While it is understandable to download a location app for students who break that trust, it is very frustrating and demeaning for students who have no real reason to download the app.

Editorial: Life 360 – Safe Parenting or Surveillance Parenting?

A plastic water bottle Christmas tree made by the student council stands on the stage in the cafeteria. The editorial board writes about the lack of responsibilities given to student council. StuCo occasionally hosts an event or can drive, but the majority of the time the program doesnt really affect the school, they said. If the organization was eliminated, there really would be no change in how the school is run, and most students probably wouldnt even notice.

Editorial: What does StuCo really do?

Before the draft system, the cafeteria faced overcrowding as pictured above on September 26. With the draft, more students stay in classrooms. With a managed cafeteria and hallways, students actions are monitored and violence – as seen in the cafeteria last year – is less likely, Assistant Editor Ryan Stanley writes in the staff editorial.

People on the far left walk across the fields from Boyer Elementary and try to weave between cars to cross West Frontier Parkway. The vehicles sit in traffic as they wait for police officers to let them into Childrens Health Stadium at Prosper parking lots. No crosswalk or additional lighting is available for the students and community members who must cross this roadway to return to the designated student pick-up area at Boyer.

Editorial: Staff calls for additional safety at Children’s Health Stadium
