School officials respond to Facebook accusations
Within the past few weeks, five new Facebook accounts were created under the aliases of Allison Harnett, Luke McCall, Sophie Harnett, Kate Crawford, and Jake Crawford. Some students have accused assistant principals Sandy Gibbs, Cody Kuhlman, and Gary McCown of being behind these Facebook accounts. Throughout the week students were skeptical. “An anonymous source told me to watch out for these certain fake profiles on Facebook ,” said Aaron Jamnik. “The profiles were kind of fishy. . . ” Among the more implausible information listed on the accounts include the fact that all of the people have degrees from Yale and seemed to “like” all of the same things. Also, the pictures behind the false accounts belong to the cast of a popular show in Buenos Aires called Casi Angeles. Rumors circulating among the students theorized that the Assistant Principals had created the profiles in order to gain information about Read the Rest »
Suspicious Facebook requests circulating through PWHS
In the past two weeks, many Pueblo West High students have been receiving friend requests from Allison Hartnett, Luke McCall, Sophie Hartnett, Kate Crawford and Jake Crawford. While it is not certain who is behind these Facebook pages, it has been speculated that these are false accounts. Luke McCall’s birthday is listed as May 25, 1990. That leaves him at twenty years old and with a degree from Yale University. Furthermore, every person’s high school is listed as Yale High School and each of them happen to have degrees from Yale. While this could be a possibility, the chances of legitimacy are slim. They all claim to work at “Mark Hartnett’s Office.” His law firm does in fact exist but it does seem to be a coincidence that all five of these people work there. Luke and Allison Hartnett got married two weeks ago on October 31, 2011 which is Read the Rest »
Foreign Exchange Student Comes to Pueblo West High
Marius Trnka is a German foreign exchange student from Wiesbaden. Wiesbaden is a small town just 15 miles from Frankfurt, Germany. “Wiesbaden is like Pueblo, and Frankfurt is like Denver to me,” Marius said. Wiesbaden is a wet, green, and cool city, with temperatures reaching the mid 70’s for their summer. Wiesbaden is only 30 feet above sea level. “It is extremely hard to breath here. Especially during soccer practice!” Marius complained. In Germany, the primary language is German, but it is required that they learn English in school. Marius attends a school in Frankfurt. In Germany, the schools are much different from here in America. They don’t have as much school spirit asstudents do here at Pueblo West High. When asked about the classes that they have in school Marius explained, “Every day is different. Classes are different, so are the hours that we attend.” Teachers walk from one class to another, while the students stay Read the Rest »
