Lulu Vitulo has been a part of the Trail since 2020, and is the Managing Editor.
Q: What was your contribution to McIntosh High School?
A: “I’d like to think my contribution to McIntosh, beyond my contribution through the Trail, is just doing my best to be there for my friends in the way they’ve been there for me for these four years, and the years before.”
Q: How have you made the Trail a better program? What was your contribution?
A: “In my four years, I’ve learned that one of the most important aspects of the Trail is being connected, and I think I’ve been able to make those connections and help create a strong editorial team that has led us to new and incredible heights. Besides the articles I’ve worked on, I spent a lot of time giving as much in-depth guidance and help as I could for our next generation.”
Q: What college do you plan on attending, and what will your major studies be?
A: “I will be attending UGA and majoring in communications, though I plan on transferring to Georgia Tech after my first year and majoring in international affairs and modern languages.”
Q: What is your favorite memory from your years on the Trail staff?
A: “My first year as an editor, a really minor role, I remember staying up late on a facetime call with the former Managing Editor Zara Morgan and Editor-in-Chief Jordyn Mobley, working on our comeback print edition after covid had made us go virtual. We were stressed and tired, but laughing and having fun anyways. I loved being part of something like that.”
Q: What are you proudest of, in your time with the Trail?
A: “I’d say in my time I’m proudest of the articles that have passed through my hands that I’ve seen win and do amazing things for our program. It’s been insane watching our staff grow.”
Q: What words of wisdom do you have for the upcoming editors and staff?
A: “Explore and take on to try new things, but when you’ve found it, focus in and take care of yourself. Time is short and trying to do everything to miss nothing might actually lead you to miss out on depths you could’ve committed to. A day has its limit, but you have years to go to new things. In general, take it one at a time and give what’s in front of you your all.”
