Hey, my name is Logan Powers! I am (finally) a senior at Millbrook High School who has been participating in the Digital Media Career Academy all four years. For my senior year at Millbrook, I’m trying to take part in as many activities as possible! I am working with the Millbrook Executive Board, Morning Growl, Film Club, along with Newspaper. With all I have going on, I keep busy and always on my toes. For some people, this might seem a little stressful; but I love a challenge. With any time I have to spare, I can usually be found watching Netflix or messing around on my laptop. I can’t wait for all that’s to come in my third year at the Cat Talk!
