Dylan John Tripp is a senior at Boulder High School and a journalist for The OWL. This is Dylan’s first year working for The OWL, or any newspaper publication for that matter. News and journalism have always been of interest for Dylan, and he was happy to sign up for a year-long newspaper class. Dylan is eager to improve his writing skills through story writing, improve his people skills through interviews and improve his analytical skills through peer editing. Through The OWL, Dylan hopes to inform the Boulder High public while upholding journalistic integrity, to find engaging and thought-provoking stories, and to maybe entertain a few on the way. Dylan draws inspiration in life from great musicians of the past. When not out digging up the latest scoop, Dylan can be found in the school theater running the props department, trying to teach himself a new instrument, hiking up a new trail, or relaxing in his hammock by the creek. Though Dylan is not picky about produce, he does prefer green grapes to purple grapes for the soul fact that Cotton Candy grapes are green.
