Logan Montes is the Spirit Director of KCBY-TV at Coppell High School in Coppell Texas

“I believes Texas needs a New Voices law so student journalists can report freely on real issues without being censored. Their voices deserve to be heard and protected.”

What I Do

As the Communications Specialist of New Voices Texas, I work to share why student press freedom matters. I focus on video content and digital posts to help more people understand what New Voices is and why it’s important.

I’m responsible for working with other officers to create engaging and informative videos and posts that students and teachers can easily connect with. I want to make our message simple, strong, and seen.

I’ll measure success by how many different people we reach—students, educators, and community members from all backgrounds. The more people we reach, the more support we build.

By the end of the year, I want to help get the New Voices legislation passed in Texas. I want lawmakers to see how much student journalists matter and how much support they have.
