The Vernois News has been a lasting tradition of MV, serving as a source of information and coverage of life on campus. The publication is run by students in both Principles of Media and Independent Study with Dr. Jamey VanZandt serving as advisor.

She is involved in the National Honors Society and golf. Cam Meyer, ‘25, Sports Editor and Director of Social Media, is an active member of Student Council, FBLA, and enjoys attending sporting events. 

As first semester progressed, the staff grew. The Vernois News has welcomed seven additional students who now occupy titles within the Vernois News.
