Fritz Schemel

Fritz Schemel, Editor-in-Chief

Fritz Schemel ’17, is in his second year as a member of Inklings. After being the Sports Editor last year, he is now moving into the position of News Editor.

Fritz joined Inklings because, “I always liked journalism, and I like writing a lot, and I’m a very nosey person. My third grade teacher would always say I was nosey, and I like to know what’s going on. So this translated to me liking journalism because this helped me not only know what’s going on, but it let me inform other people.”

Fritz says that he would definitely like to pursue some facet of journalism as a career, and because so many of the skills that can be picked up from the class apply to so many other things, the class will help him no matter what career he pursues.

His favorite subjects include math and social studies, and outside of school, he is involved in Inklings, SLOBS, the Westport Youth Commision, and is a Student Ambassador.
