Sophomore Jakobe Whale is spending his first year with the ENO Staff. Being certified in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator helped him get a spot with the team. After leaving Prosper after his first year in middle school and spending the last two years in a different school district, he returned his freshman year, glad to be back with Prosper and here to stay. During his free time, he mainly enjoys spending time with his friends or his family.
