Erik Stanley, Smoke Signal - Opinions and Entertainment Editor

Hi my name is Erik!

I'm a senior here at Stafford Senior High School. I've been on the Smoke signal staff now for 3 years and have been taking journalism courses for 4 years. I write on anything possible from entertainment to politics. I love music, I play the drums and love traveling. I look forward to the 2022-2023 year here at Smoke Signal and want to put a name for myself my last year here.
