Mitchell Palczewski is a 17-year-old senior at Hall High School. He grew up and still lives in West Hartford with his parents and his dog, Caramel. His older brother, Sam, is currently a sophomore at UMASS.

Although he has no prior journalism experience, Mitchell is excited “to learn more about how journalism impacts our society.” With a TV debut already under his belt, his future looks promising. In an interview with NBC Sports, Mitchell correctly predicted Nick Foles would start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mitchell is a creative student interested in art and math. He enjoys skiing, sailing, bowling, and building trebuchets in his free time. Mitchell has read a plethora of books, but his favorite has to be The Martian, by Andy Weir.
