Journalism is a year-long course in which students will work to develop skills necessary to produce both a student newspaper and a yearbook. Students will do a significant amount of writing, editing, proofreading, and they will learn to take and edit digital pictures and to use word processing and graphic arts.

This year, the journalism call is issuing a monthly newspaper called The Gate. The 08-09 newspaper is available online at http://www.thegate-schutz.blogspot.com/

The 2007-2008 Journalism students created the first online student newspaper. The 07-08 newspaper is available online at www.the83rd.blogspot.com
