Tyler McTigue, Staff Writer

Hi, my name is Tyler McTigue, and I’m a junior at Foran High School. This is my first year taking journalism, and I am a staff writer. I picked journalism because I love writing and learning about the people and places around me. At Foran, I am involved in basketball and baseball. In my free time, I enjoy golfing and hanging with friends.
