Journalism

This course is designed for students with a love of writing.  Classroom instruction is centered around developing journalistic writing, objective style, and teaching In Design, layout, and editing skills. Students are responsible for producing the school newspaper, the Crown and Shield. Once the instructor has covered the basics of journalism, the class is run like a real newsroom and is primarily student-directed. Like Yearbook, this class can be taken several times during a student's four years. Students create printed and online issues of the newspaper.

Yearbook

Students will function as staff members and learn various aspects of the yearbook publication process such as layout and design, copy writing, photography, budget and finance, and promotion and publicity. The book is built on-line. During both semesters, students are responsible for producing complete layouts in order to meet publication deadlines. This course is offered as an 8th period class after school Monday through Thursday.
