About the Contributors
Evelyn Nethers, Video Producer
Evelyn Nethers (’29) is excited to join the Wildcat as a video producer. She comes with two years’ experience working in broadcasting, as a staff member and producer, and is looking forward to growing with the Wildcat.
She spends a lot of her time playing competitive club soccer outside of school, and she is looking forward to her first soccer and track seasons at BOHS. She is involved with the National History Day and Christian Clubs on campus and will continue to expand her school involvement in the future.
Evelyn referees and babysits to earn money, and in her spare time, she loves finding new shows, trying gluten free recipes, planning her next travel adventure, and enjoying life with her family and friends.
Charlotte Nethers, Arts and Culture Editor
Charlotte Nethers (’28) is excited to step into the role of Arts & Culture Editor for her second year on the Wildcat staff. She plans to write about BOHS performing and visual arts programs, as well as current culture.
Over the past three years, Charlotte has combined her love of history and research through her participation in National History Day, where she was named an Orange County Champion for her exhibit on the media’s misleading portrayal of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Outside of school, Charlotte participates in cross country and track, referees youth soccer games, babysits, and volunteers at her local church. She loves to travel (Thailand is her favorite destination), curl up to read a good book (preferably dystopian fiction), and draw portraits in her spare time.
Charlotte is looking forward to exploring all that BOHS has to offer by getting more involved in sports, clubs, and volunteer work in her remaining years of high school.
Issabella Garcia, Photo Editor
Issabella Garcia (’27) is thrilled for her third year being on the Wildcat staff. As Co-Photo Editor, she is passionate about visual storytelling and committed to leading the photography team with creativity, collaboration, and a focus on developing their skills.
Beyond her passion for photography, Issabella is deeply involved in her community and school. She’s a proud member of the National Honor Society (NHS), serves as a board member for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), and holds the position of secretary on the Teen Advisory Board (T.A.B.) at her local library. She competes in both cross country and softball at the varsity level, showcasing her dedication and athleticism across multiple sports. Additionally, during the summer, Issabella volunteers as a Counselor in Training (C.I.T.) at a summer camp for children in elementary school. In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, taking walks, and discovering new TV shows.
Looking ahead, Issabella plans to remain engaged in athletics, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities. After graduation, Issabella plans to pursue studies in psychology with the goal of becoming a developmental psychologist, helping young people navigate emotional and developmental challenges.

Great video! And very timely! This week I saw the new dance program at the junior high, which made me curious about the dance program at the high school. Great job!
