Welcome Giants to the first episode of the Club Cast, with Reed Grossman and Cian Kelly! Kicking off our pilot episode, Reed and Cian sat down with co-founders and Presidents John-Paul Acker and Cole Sandrich to discuss the Community Helping Accessibility Inclusivity and Resource Acquisition (CHAIR) club. CHAIR is currently in their second year at Redwood, helping with disability accessibility for all. CHAIR has been working with the International Revenue Service (IRS), and accessibility providers to set up ‘Grill ‘n Groove’ events, creating a fun atmosphere and raising money for people with disabilities. Go check out their club on Tuesdays in Ms Slattery’s classroom in room 200 during lunch or support them online at chairaccessibility.com
Welcome back to the second episode of the Club Cast with Reed Grossman and Cian Kelly! This week, we spoke with the President of the Fishing Club, Cole Guerrero, to discuss the popularity of fishing as a pastime for many students at Redwood. Cole highlights what inspired him to personally continue the club’s legacy, as well as its current and future growth. We learn how students of all skill levels get involved, as well as the exciting events planned for the future. Go visit the Fishing Club on Wednesdays in Mrs. Peck’s classroom during lunch in room 229.
Welcome back to episode three of the Club Cast podcast with Reed Grossman and Cian Kelly! This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Nuclear Club co-presidents, juniors Rex Riedel and Lillian Merrill. We go in depth about the incredible equipment being used, the grants they’ve received from the American Nuclear Society and their recent work with leading radiation detection company, Gamma Reality, where they got to use the famous Boston Dynamics robot dog. They also detail their visits to advanced research facilities such as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Riedel and Merrill share why exploring a new club, such as the Nuclear Club, can spark new passions and interests in students by offering opportunities beyond what is typically taught in the classroom. If you’re interested in joining, stop by Mr. Nash’s classroom, room 233, on Tuesdays during lunch and follow them on Instagram @rhs.nuclearclub.

Board Meeting debrief

Part 2: Co-location
Limited speaking time at the board meeting on March 10, 2026, has exemplified a continued trend at board meetings in recent months. During the months from Nov. 2025 to Dec. 2025, community members expressed concerns over public comment and representation during the discussion of the plan to co-locate two alternative-education schools: San Andreas and Tamiscal.
Part 3: The Hub
For over a year, Tamalpais High School has used full-time intervention coordinator Kyle Jackson as the intervention coordinator for the Black Student Success Team (BSST), also known as the Hub, replacing the outside contractors that were denied renewal on June 3, 2025. However, on Feb. 24, 2026, Kyle Jackson resigned from his position as the intervention coordinator for the Black Student Success Team (BSST).
Part 4: Phone-free schools
On March 11, 2026, superintendent Dr. Courtney Goode held a discussion regarding a phone-free future in the TUHSD. After a discussion with parents about the dangers of smartphone usage, Dr. Goode presented a solution to the problem: locking students’ phones in a Yondr pouch for the school day. The discussion precedes a future board meeting on March 24, 2026, where the proposal will be discussed for implementation at all five schools.
Why it mattered
After a four month research and writing process, I was able to publish my feature story District in divide in the center spread of the Redwood Bark. The story focused on many issues that sparked concern in the district community, with many of these issues not receiving major attention from news publications. The story gained major positive reception from community members and over 2,000 views withing the first week of publication. District in divide was mentioned by community members in the Archie Williams High School community and is currently featured on the homepage of the TEAM program website. The article was able to shed light on stories in the community that weren't seeing a spotlight and shed light on the Tamalpais Union High School District Board of Trustees, who are typically not discussed in the public eye.
