Gabriela Santana is a senior student here at CATS Academy. She has created a play, which is set in a conformist post-apocalyptic society of people. The play is set in the day to day life of a man named Edward that is trapped in a cycle of monotonous life. He has schizophrenia and also suffers from the repetitive nature of his life.

Nothing is as special as the feeling you experience when your heart starts beating, when your breath stops for a millisecond, and when your eyes widen from the amazement. It’s the feeling when you smile and at the same time feel nervous about the unknown. You probably think that something should have changed and you still can’t understand what. This is the feeling of returning home. The pleasure of it is indescribable! Only then, when you come home you realize that you overcame homesickness and that you were strong enough to stay and fight it there and now you came home with a victory.

Welcome to the CATS Academy Courier, your source for the news, opinions, and happenings here at CATS Academy Boston. We plan to operate on a bi-weekly basis beginning after winter break in January. Every other week there will be new articles, written by us, the students about athletic activities and exciting school trips! To reiterate, we are a student-lead newspaper club. This means that no articles will be written by the staff here at CATS. In order to produce a newspaper on a bi-weekly basis, the club meets once a week, every Wednesday, with Mr. Walecka and Ms. Bowen in Room 136. Feel free to stop by and check us out!
