Jules Conners, Editor-in-chief

Juliana (Jules) Conners is a senior at Boulder High and the editor-in-chief of The Owl. Entering her third year with the paper, Jules is extremely tired and impatiently awaiting graduation. When not selling her soul to the College Board, Jules can be found playing basketball for Boulder High, or unenthusiastically working as a crew head for Boulder High’s Troupe 60. Jules is also a working woman and spends the majority of her time signing people up for gym memberships at the YMCA as well as being filmed while rolling burritos at your local Chipotle. Jules is notoriously horrible at math, however, Jules is particularly wise in the skill of grape tasting, and can unequivocally declare that green grapes are far superior to those of the red variety.
