Your words have power. Your words are your legacy. The words you share can change the world.
- Journalism is both a class and a club where students work together to create the school newspaper, The Kilt.
- It is an entirely student lead class where you get to publish your writing, graphics, and photography once a month and you get to collaborate on how to express what really matters to you.
- But as you see in t (Links to an external site.)his video (Links to an external site.), it is so much more than that! You will make great friends and memories to last a lifetime.
