Hello! My name is Rachel Singleton, and I am a senior at FHS. I have been part of journalism all four of my high school years and have held an editor position for all four as well. I have also written for several local publications in the Fauquier community. I love working in journalism and plan on continuing it as my career. Alongside the newspaper, I run Cross Country and Track and Field. I am also part of NHS and FBLA. I can repeat this forever, but journalism is amazing, and being part of the Falconer changed my life. So if you're reading this now, JOIN NOW!
