Seyun Park, Editor-in-Chief

Senior Seyun Park triumphantly returns to The Pitch in his fourth and final year, this year as Editor-in-Chief, managing content both online and in print. When he isn't fixing tabs on Adobe InDesign, messing around with SNO widgets, or dropping horrible sports takes in class, you can find Seyun on the tennis court, crushing the daily New York Times games or fanatically supporting the Washington Caps and Nats.

Seyun is also a 2024 National Scholastic Press Association Multimedia Journalist of the Year Finalist.
