SALT LAKE CITY When Yara Ahmed first shuffled onto the Judge Memorial Catholic High School campus as an unsure freshman, she had designs on engineering classes, not sharing the national limelight with accomplished storytellers.
“I never expected to love journalism the way I love it now,” Ahmed said during a Zoom interview. “I never even would have thought of joining this class if not for Mr. Sloan reaching out to me.”
Dr. Chris Sloan is chairman of the JMCHS English Department; he teaches English, new media and photography, and also is the advisor to The Bulldog Press.
