Rebecca McCorey, Entertainment Editor

Hi, I’m Rebecca, one of The Chariot’s entertainment editors for the 2025–2026 school year. I am a senior, and have been part of The Chariot since 9th grade. Outside of Chariot, I enjoy listening to music, making art, writing, and playing guitar. My favorite songs to play are “Male Fantasy” by Billie Eilish and “Troubled Times” by Green Day. I also collect vinyl records, and my favorite is an original pressing of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”.
