Connor Mire, Newspaper Staff

Hi I’m Connor, and this is my second (and final) year on the Uproar as a staff writer. I love writing and I’m a huge nerd for both UIL and Academic Decathlon. I’m also involved in NHS and I play guitar in my free time. It’s absolutely mind-blowing to me that four years have sped by so fast. I can’t wait to see what this last school year has to offer!
