Hugo Pletcher, Opinions Editor

Senior Hugo Pletcher is an Opinions Editor for his first year as a part of the Blueprint staff. Along with being on the Blueprint staff, Pletcher has played tennis, been a part of the speech team, volunteered with Key Club, and he has pursued a passion in writing on his own time. He has written multiple pieces on music, mental health and his own personal views.

Pletcher adores music and tends to listen to it just about anywhere he goes, reflecting deeply on whatever he may be listening to. Aside from music, Pletcher puts a heavy emphasis on friends and family, as they will always be his number one supporter.

Pletcher’s plans for the future include pursuing a writing career in college, whether that be for a journalistic based occupation or a creative writing one. He hopes to stay in state for college, and he will continue to work hard in order to make that aspiration a reality. Pletcher is aware that life may have uncertainties, but he will always remain persistent and be ready to put his next foot forward, starting with the Blueprint.
