Clara Compton, Editor-in-Chief

Hi there! My name is Clara Compton and I’m a senior here at FHS. This year, I am Editor-in-Chief and it is my third year working with The Falconer. Along with the Falconer, I am also in NHS. Writing and reading are two of my favorite things to do, so I’m excited to be so involved with journalism! I love to be with family and friends and I value spending quality time with the people I love. I love to work with children and plan on pursuing this passion by becoming an elementary school teacher.
