Claire Lee, Entertainment Editor

After serving as a staff reporter during her junior year, senior Claire Lee is excited to return back to The Accolade as a co-Entertainment editor. For this 2024-2025 school year, Lee plans to work closely with other editors to expand the relevancy of the publication and make her last year on staff as memorable as possible.

Aside from this program, Lee is involved in clubs like Cooperation Act and Sister Support Project as a cabinet member, as well as several volunteer organizations outside of campus. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends, drawing and listening to music.
