Adviser Kayleigh Franklin is entering her seventh year facilitating various journalism programs across the San Antonio area, and her 20th year as a member of a journalism program. From the tender age of 10-years-old, Franklin found her love for writing, reporting, photography, and design in all things journalism, starting as a yearbook student in fifth grade. In junior high, she participated in her school’s broadcasting team, newspaper, and yearbook staff, continuing on to high school and fulfilling the role of EIC for The Steele Shield at her alma mater.

She is excited to be a part of the HCCPHS Journalism program, advising the groundbreaking staff of The Wingspan and establishing the on-campus newspaper with an exceptional group of students. All the success of The Wingspan is attributed to the students’ focus, determination, and willingness to break down barriers. Franklin is looking forward to this year’s staff accomplishments and all the milestones they will meet.
