The Central Trend

Alex Schoonveld

Alex Schoonveld, Junior Writer

Alex Schoonveld is a sophomore at FHC and is so ready for the amazing stories he is going to write for The Central Trend this year. He enjoys playing guitar and piano, singing, video editing, and listening to music. Singing in Central Singers is the highlight of his day. You’ll likely find him practicing for theater in the auditorium or listening to music in his room after school. He wants to sing or play guitar in a band in the future. He discovered that he could play any instrument with the power of music theory, and he plays random instruments for fun. Alex has so many story ideas for the year, and he can’t wait to stay up late to write each and every one.
