Schenectady High School gets a bad rap, according to senior Isabella Smarro.
It’s part of the reason why she stepped up to continue the school’s literary magazine.
“It’s supposed to show that Schenectady is more than the fights and the gossip. We’re so diverse and [talented],” Smarro said.
The magazine, which showcases the work of Schenectady High School students, began three years ago thanks to English teacher Andrew Davis.
“I wanted to start it because there wasn’t a forum, at least in print, that our school offered for kids to show how talented they were. . . As teachers, there isn’t enough time or space in the curriculum to showcase it,” Davis said.
