A moment of jubilation for the Grosse Pointe South culinary team. Chef Lopez (far left) poses with his students after winning the state competition and knocking out last years national champion Plymouth Canton Educational Park at the state Prostart tournament in Kalamazoo. We took out the defending national champions from last year. So just to get through that team is huge. If we get through the state, we typically do well at nationals because getting out of Michigan is hard enough, Lopez said. (Photo courtesy of Nikolas Lopez)

With the 2024 school year wrapping up, Souths seniors are excited about college and their future, especially Brenna Goodman ’24. Since our seniors have many half-days in the next few weeks, Goodman is ready to spend some well-deserved time off with her friends and family. “I plan on working during the week once I finish my exams,” Goodman said. “I’ll still have soccer so I’ll have to come back to school for that, which will be different than normal.” Despite these changes, Goodman is excited to get through graduation and succeed in her new life at the University of Michigan.

About the Contributor
Miles Constantino '25
Miles Constantino '25, Staff Writer
If anyone knows music, it's Miles Constantino “25. Composing in his spare time, Constantino takes to the stage with his pop music inspired by Imagine Dragons and Macklemore. But his talent doesn't stop in the writers room, it extends to his performance as well in both guitar and viola. Constantino also actively works towards sharpening his intellectual prowess, co-running the Chess Club, taking his love of the clever game a step further. Constantino is already strategizing on how to better the state of journalism during his first year on The Tower Newspaper. “In the (past few) years, I’ve noticed that journalism is really poor,” said Constantino. “There’s a lot of ways you can interpret something in a specific way to alter the story without directly misleading people.”
