Hi, my name is Ethan Shoeman, and I’m a reporter for Livewire. Outside of school, I like to play video games, guitar and walk in the woods. I also like to listen to music and play with my dog! The things you will get from me this year are sports scores, breaking news and silly stories from around our school. :)

“I came to Altoona because I had the opportunity to help a lot of students on their educational journeys. I didn't enjoy middle school myself partially because of some of the experience I had, and I wanted to be a positive person in students lives. Also, the opportunities to help outside of the classroom and get involved with athletics and help students develop as people as well as students,” said seventh grade geography teacher Trevor Beck.

Why did you decide to come to the AAJHS?
