Hi! My name is Charlotte Schwarte and this is my third year with the Dispatch. I’m the Feature Editor for the print edition, and I love to read and write, which led me to journalism and the Dispatch. In my time with the paper, I’ve won 8 Best of SNO’s and attended the 2024 National High School Journalism Convention in Philadelphia, where I won a Superior Rating in Sports Writing, 4th in Page Design, 2nd in Feature Writing, and more. Outside of the paper I am involved in track, BPA, Class Officers of 2026, and the student press advocacy group New Voices Texas.
