Sophia Lopez, PPCHS’s 2021-22 Poetry Out Loud Finalist, 2022-23 NEHS Creative Director, and rising 2023-24 NEHS Vice President, is finishing up her junior year. She has admired the concept of realism for as long as she can remember. Her fascination with the animal world was the push to take on her own personal projects. Wielding her colored pencils, she tries to portray her subjects in the most accurate way possible. Her artwork is also featured in our Spring 2022 issue.
the atala is designed, curated, & edited by the Pines Charter Chapter of the National English Honor Society. It showcases original student poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, literary criticism, and art. Like its namesake — the small, bright butterfly that grew from near extinction to rising numbers in our part of the world — this little literary journal aims to grow our love of writing and expand our community’s appreciation for the literary arts.
