Introducing the New Co-Editor in Chief: Mei Peters

Originally published in Vol 6, No 2 of The Dragon, May 2022

This year, the Dragon is saying goodbye to our Co-Editor in Chief of two years, Isabella Gámez. Isabella was one of the two people who stood up at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year to keep the Dragon alive. She has been working hard ever since to keep us going, and she led the way to restarting print editions. Her departure is leaving some pretty big shoes to fill, but we have no doubt that her successor will fill them with ease.

Introducing the new Co-Editor in Chief of the Design Tech Dragon: rising Junior Mei Peters. Mei has been a writer for the Dragon since September 2020, the start of her freshman year. That year, she wrote about the return of in-person school, Physics teacher Alice Pevyhouse, the departure of Mr. Groat, and Black History Month. She immediately demonstrated a dedication to the Dragon and an impressive talent for writing. When the Dragon went in-person in the second semester of that year, she made a point of showing up to every meeting and doing everything she could to help us keep the Dragon alive through COVID.

This year, she was promoted to Section Editor, becoming the youngest person on the Dragon to hold that role. She has worked hard to help our writers grow and create amazing content, as well as writing some incredible stories of her own. She has continued to show incredible dedication to the Dragon, showing up every week and doing everything she can to help.

Next year, she is taking on a big new role. We’re not sure she knows what she’s getting into, but, hell, neither did we, and we’re doing fine, right? ...right?
