Letter Regarding our School from State Historical Resources Commission

We need to get on this story right away. The commission approved the application on Friday and there is one final step left. We need to interview the person to whom the letter is addressed and Christopher Spencer or Dave Moreno of the Alumni Association. We wrote about this in the March 2010 issue of the Crimson Chronicle. If you write the story, you need to read the March 2010 story first. This should be a front page story.

About This Class

This course is designed for those students who desire experience in print journalism and an in-depth production of a newspaper. Students have the unique opportunity to create and publish a student-driven newspaper. Newspaper students practice the fundamentals of journalistic writing, photojournalism, graphic design and budget management. Students will also develop their abilities to work as a team as they produce the newspaper.
Researchers have found that both college and non-college-bound students benefit from taking journalism in high school. A study of college freshmen found that journalism experience correlated with higher efficacy in a beginning English class (Collins and Bissell, 2002). Even teachers report less burnout and higher job satisfaction from advising the school newspaper or broadcast class, according to a study by Reinardy, Maksl and Filak (2009). Numerous studies by Dvorak and his associates have shown a correlation between journalism students and higher test scores on college readiness tests and in higher grades in high school classes.
