Co-Editor
John England My name is John Theodore England. I am currently a junior at Knox County High School and the co-editor of Knox County Eagle Nation News. My parents are Derek and Anaise England. I have two older brothers, Tom and Dan. I am involved in National Honor Society, FBLA, Spanish Club and Journalism. I spend most of my time working or helping my parents on our dairy farm. I enjoy hanging out and talking with friends, if and when I get the chance. Otherwise, my life isn’t all that interesting. After high school, I would like to go to a university to get a degree in business or a similar field. I have recently become interested in the real estate side of business and hope to pursue a career in this direction. I feel like journalism will be helpful in my career because I will be able to understand how everything works so that I am able to use it to my advantage.

Co-Editor
Jaiden Linebaugh Hello, my name is Jaiden Shaun Linebaugh. I am a junior at Knox County High School and Co-Editor of Eagle Nation News. I moved to Knox County in the summer of 2016. My parents are Jonnie and Brian Primm. I am the youngest sibling of 4 and I have 9 nieces and nephews. I am an active member of NHS, FFA, and plan on joining Spanish Club as well. I am also involved in many sports including basketball, dance, track, and I’m the manager of the football team. I had the honor of attending and competing in Class 1 State Track my freshman and sophomore years. I hope to be able to go and represent Knox County again in both of my next two years of high school. I am still deciding on what I would like to do in the future, but I hope to figure that out soon and further continue my education and track career in college. I took journalism because I love the news stories about our school and being able to read about the accomplishments of the students and student athletes of Knox County. Being a student athlete, I understand that a lot of the parents and families of the students can’t always make it to every academic or sporting event. This class will allow me to share those memorable moments with the community, as if they were there.

Cadie Violette
Hi, my name is Cadie Violette and I am currently a junior at Knox County. I am active in FFA and serve as the Student Council secretary. I am also active in band, NHS, Eagle Nation News, and I am the president of my class. I love being in all the extra curricular activities that I am in, but my favorite one is FFA. I enjoy everything about FFA and what it has to offer. FFA is a great opportunity for people of all ages and it is a privilege to be able to be a part of it. I decided to take journalism this year because I think it will be a good class to learn skills such as how to properly interview and write an interview about a person or event. After high school I plan on going to a 4 year college. I am not sure where I will go or what I will major in as I have not decided on that yet. |
