Payton Lark ’27, Social Media Manager
When Payton Lark, ‘27, isn’t writing stories or posting on The Tower’s social media, she’s helping with peer-to-peer, which is a program where special needs students do various activities. With a sister on the unified basketball team, Lark is very involved with the program; she might even be the team manager this year.
“I love unified basketball because it allows me to make other students feel seen and included,” Lark said.
Lark is extremely fearful of snakes. Out on a hike, a snake was mentioned, and she began to cry. Lark could go on for hours about every feature she hates about snakes.
“I really really hate snakes,” Lark said. “I don’t like that they don’t have legs, and their nose is their tongue.”
Lark is an incredibly caring person; she has six dogs, and four of them have come from the streets. She was interested in writing for The Tower ever since they visited her class in eighth grade, when they told her about how you could write about things you love. A spark lit in Lark.
“I very much love the news and politics, so I found that interesting,” Lark said. “And I love being able to have my voice heard by others.”
