Amos Perkins, Former Editor in Chief

Hi there! My name is Amos Perkins, and I am currently the editor in chief of The Wichitan. I am a 4-8 grade social studies education senior hoping to graduate in Fall 2022. I joined The Wichitan as a freshman who mostly wrote sports, before becoming managing editor and holding that title for a full year under two different editor in chiefs.

Over a year ago, I got married to my high school sweetheart, the love of my life and fellow Mustang, Emma Midgette (now Perkins). In my spare time, I love writing fiction and collecting old maps and flags.

I joined the paper because I wanted friends, an outlet for my love for writing and a place to belong, and I can honestly say The Wichitan has given me that and so much more. The people on the paper are truly like family to me. The outgoing seniors have elevated us to a place the paper has never been before, and I am so excited to see the amazing ways we can continue to grow.
