Alec Conley, Editor-in-chief
At school, Alec Conley is the editor-in-chief for the Mountainside Peak newspaper. As a sophomore, Alec worked on The Peak as a staff member. Now, as a junior, he’s excited to take on the role previously filled by Andrew Acevedo. As the editor-in-chief, Alec hopes to become the person that the peak staff can go to for help. A hero, in their own way. In leadership roles like this, you learn much along the way. Alec is as excited as he is nervous about this process. Wanting to become more eloquent in his dialogue, he hopes this position will help him achieve that.
Their passion for this role at The Mountainside Peak is influenced by their fondness for writing. In the future, he would like to be either a screenwriter or a play writer. But at the end of the day, anything that involves writing will make him happy, Alec says. Beyond school and writing, Alec loves movies and music. They love examining the plots of movies and he knows many directors. With music, part of his love for it comes from his family. With their mom growing up on Destiny’s Child and their dad loving rock, Alec’s music taste is varied.
