Listen to Central High School teachers and classmates remember Aviva Okeson-Haberman.
At Central High School, Aviva Okeson-Haberman was part of the student broadcast journalism team called Central Intelligence, or CI.
Josh Cantrell, Central’s media teacher, worked with her on CI her senior year of high school. He says her dedication to research and knack for storytelling made her bring as much detail into her stories as possible.
“We had kind of a two-minute limit, two-and-a-half,” Cantrell remembers. And she would always try to negotiate down from about five, because she just had so much that she always wanted to say.”
