From a gap year to the armed forces to prestigious universities, the Foothill Technology High School senior Class of 2025 shares their geographic location for where they’ll be next year.

In celebration of the Class of 2025’s final moments at Foothill Technology High School (Foothill Tech), seniors typically share their post-graduation plans via an event known as “Senior Signing Day,” but this year due to scheduling, the event was not held in person, but rather on the FTHS Class of 2025 Instagram. The map below is a global representation of where senior Dragons will end up following graduation on June 4, 2025. Click the image below for optimal viewing.

 

Editor’s Note: Not every senior from the graduating Class of 2025 was placed on this map since data was collected through an optional Google form, the Senior Google sheet and the senior Instagram page. If you are a senior and want to be added to or taken off the map, contact us at [email protected]

What better way to bring a community together than fun colors, painted patterns, and books? Ever since their creation in 2009, “Little Free Libraries,” more commonly known as “Book Boxes” have brightened neighborhoods from coast to coast. Located outside of the Ventura Salvation Army sits three book boxes, overflowing with a wide variety of novels, children's books, and even comics; something for every type of reader. Recently, there were signs attached to each box with the words "We need more books!" and within days, these boxes were once again filled to the brim with community donated literature.

Every piece of local art comes with a fragment of the community’s story. Unlike mass-produced items, local art is unique, crafted by hands that pour creativity into every detail. Each work features facets of the local culture, such as Ventura, Calif.’s beachy landscapes. Buying from local shops not only supports artists and their craft but also helps sustain small businesses that may struggle to compete against larger corporations. Though it may cost more, the value ultimately lies in the quality materials, time and personal touch behind each piece – a connection that big chain stores simply cannot offer.
Opinion: Ventura’s art scene deserves better recognition
On May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost, a cardinal of the catholic church, was appointed as Pope Leo XIV. The new pontiff follows in Pope Francis' footsteps after the latter's death on April 21, 2025. The first ever U.S. born pope, Pope Leo has shocked the Catholic world with a break in the pattern of European pontiffs. Pope Leo has also spent many years in Peru working in the city of Chiclayo as the head of an Augustinian seminary. He has gained his Peruvian citizenship and is beloved by many of the residents of not just Chiclayo, but Peru as a whole.

Before the internet, the Incel (Involuntary Celibate) population wasn’t a community. However, after mass globalization and connection via the internet, the impact of certain ideologies and beliefs can outgrow the knowledge of their consequences. It can also hide the warning signs behind a screen and anonymous messages, delaying any substantial response to the danger before it translates to real world effects. Incel culture is a far cry from what it was originally supposed to be, but the actions of its most known members have since transformed it into something that can’t be ignored so easily. This is especially true in the malicious endeavors brought to light by a new Netflix series, “Adolescence”, that was released on March 13, 2025.
