Our Mission

To provide an opportunity to enhance a student's civic engagement through collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication.

The Program

This program is an opportunity for students to combine left and right brain thinking through the application of student media/journalism. By completing this program, students will be able to share advanced learning and skills on college and scholarship applications and with future employers.

Students interested in being a part of the program need to initially sign up to take Introduction to Journalism 1 to begin their path. Students can then pursue the program by taking the advanced courses: Yearbook, Newspaper or Capstone: Digital Media Communications (a combination of Online Newspaper and Advanced Video Production). Students will learn methods for storytelling in both verbal and visual ways to communicate information and ideas with the Raptor Community.

The Application

Interested students should complete the application during the first semester of the Junior year.  The application is in digital form. It requires three teachers to sign off on your ability to complete this program and it requires a parent/guardian signature. Please make sure you take the time to answer each section thoroughly. Applications are due by Friday, December 15, 2023.
