Liam Bradley is a CSD senior who hopes to build a portfolio of written work both to follow up his freshman year in Journalism I and to contribute to the school’s online news site.

In his spare time, Liam plays the drums, works out, sleeps and watches classic films. Interesting, fun and unique about Liam is that he, as a senior, is not at school very much and gets dismissed pretty early.

If Liam Bradley could interview one person, it would be Christopher Morris, the creator of the show Brass Eye. Liam respects Morris’ work  and is enticed by the challenge of interviewing a somewhat reclusive celebrity.

When asked to write about a person you love and share what makes this person special, Ben Gallagher (‘25) said, “The CSD Spartan mascot framed in a heart summarizes our school spirit. I love the Spartan mascot because it represents the community of CSD and school pride. Love isn’t just person to person but can also be used to describe the things we care for deeply and I do love my school.”

CSD students are learning to balance cell phone use with the school’s new policy. Students can only use their phones during jumpstart (a 10 minute activity break following two daily early morning classes), class transitions, lunch and before and after the arrival and dismissal bells ring. Another way of putting it is that cell phones are firmly outlawed during instructional periods.
