Nyah McKinney (She/Her) is the In Our School/Editorials Section Editor for The Pioneer. 

 

Since elementary school, Nyah knew she loved to write when book series such as “Shatter Me” inspired her to write her own stories. In sixth grade, Nyah joined the Newspaper Club at Edison Middle School and later applied for the Write On Sports Program, which she would participate in for two years, where she expanded her skills in news writing and interviewing, as well as communication and leadership. 

 

Now in her sophomore year at West Orange High School with two years apart of her school’s journalism program, she is the class Vice President solidifying a sixth year in student council, an honor roll student with five honors courses, a dedicated varsity and club lacrosse player, a cheerleader of 10 years, and an active member of her schools’ Black Student Union, Unity, and JSA clubs. Her hobbies include dancing, video editing/filmmaking, and journaling.
