Ella Johnson, Editor-in-Chief

Ella Johnson’s love for storytelling has come to life at The Dowling Catholic Post for the past three years. A senior, she also participates in tennis, the Fall Play, Speech, Student Ambassadors, Student Philanthropy Council, National Honor Society, and Ut Fidem. Her favorite newsroom memory is the first pitch meeting she led as Editor-in-Chief alongside Delaney Platt, as it was a moment she had imagined since fifth grade when she started a one-woman newspaper at her elementary school. She thanks you for supporting her love and the art of journalism by reading The Dowling Catholic Post.
