Valuing Every Movement: A Note from the Editor-in-Chief
Our club leaders sat down to talk about this issue’s theme and what they wanted to convey to their readers. The articles in this edition acknowledge and put value to the movements in our society and in our own lives. Moving experiences that are necessary to continue growth, progress, and push for change in our surrounding space and within ourselves.
Read Zoe Anderson’s revealing piece on the ICE Walkout Movement that occurred in our community and Yaretzi Macia’s piece, in Spanish and English, appealing on behalf of our Newcomer students. Both pieces remind us that our work for advocacy should be more active than ever. Janet Rodriguez highlights how the entertainment industry can also create a wide world movement of advocacy for communities, as seen in this year’s most watched Superbowl Half Time Show.
An equally important piece, written by Sterling Hubbell, enlightens the heavy topic of sexual assault and what that means. As we approach April (Sexual Assault Awareness Month), she delivers the subject with delicacy and honesty. Dexee Aninon takes us on a ride of changing continents and how that personal movement in her life has made her who she is.
Viviana Marroquin and Madison McGarvey highlight Mr. Jimenez, a great math teacher who is fairly new to Patriot and making an impact on his students.
Finally, Anna Roman’s children’s book titled Hasta Luego Isn’t Goodbye, speaks to the reality of some immigrant families and what children feel. Alejandro Guerrero Gaxiola appeals to all of us to love and not hate in a poem called Foundation, and we celebrate our Mock Trial Team for doing what they do best, advocating for others!
Happy Readings!

A message from the Presidents:
Hey Warriors! My name is Zoe Anderson, and I am one of your Co-Presidents/Co-Editors in Chief for The Warrior SHIELD this year. I am so excited to get The SHIELD off the ground for this upcoming school year. This group has already expanded significantly, considering we’ve only been a club for one school year.
The dedication of our journalists is unlike any other club, and I hope this year we can continue to grow and highlight more topics. Though we may not realize it, our writing has already impacted our campus and community through the topics and people they have showcased. In a world where there seems to be so many things dividing us, writing and stories are something that can help unify and uplift people.
I hope that every person on our campus can gain and learn something from our work, not only about others around them, but about themselves.
Let’s have a great school year!
​
My name is Madison McGarvey and I am one of journalism’s Co-President’s for the 2025-2026 school year. I am a senior involved in all sorts of extracurricular clubs, sports, and advanced classes.
My goal this year is to bring insight to the campus and bring a spotlight to those who do not usually get the opportunity to be highlighted. Whether they are clubs, classes, teachers, or even admin, everyone deserves the chance to share their story!
I look forward to this year and our future publications. I hope you all enjoy reading our articles written by fellow students at PHS and learn a little bit more about those you share the campus with!
