With two years of journalism courses behind him, senior Jimmy Tolton (he/him) is eager and prepared to excel as a journalist for the 2022-2023 school year. Tolton is a highly valued member of the team, particularly because of his strong passion for writing. This year, Tolton is excited to take on the role of Business Manager. Tolton finds journalism courses invite a lot of freedom and self-sufficiency into his work, which is something he values. One of his goals for The Scituation this year is to focus more on catering to different audiences with his articles while still being able to comment on topics that interest him personally. 

Tolton is a dedicated student who enjoys math, business, and writing classes. His commitment to academics earned him a place in the National Honor Society.

Outside of school, Tolton is a valued member of the boys’ golf team and the basketball team, which made it to the semi-finals last winter. Tolton is an active and vibrant member of his community and works at a local gas station during his free time. Known as a hardworking athlete, Tolton is determined to use his passion for sports marketing to one day work for a professional team. Having completed a sports marketing course at UMass Amherst this summer, Tolton hopes to major in business and minor in marketing at a big university next fall. For now, his focus as a skilled writer is to expand The Situation’s sports section.
