The Guests

Esther Wojcicki, who founded the PAHS journalism program about 20 years ago, and built it into what it is today.  She's been a professional journalist, blogs regularly for the Huffington Post, and was awarded the Gold Key by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2009 for her outstanding devotion to the school press.
