School Newspapers
The official school newspaper is The Sword and Shield. Independent newspapers, The Spartacus and the Aficionado existed at one time, but have both discontinued distribution.
The Independent was created after the 1990-91 school year by The Sword and Shield staff in response to censorship of the school's paper by then Principal Carolyn Taylor. The Independent had a tradition of printing annual April Fool's editions, which were published under names such as The Inebriated, The Insolent, and The Indyan. Past controversy over the April Fool's editions led to The Independent being temporarily banned, sparking the creation of The Spartacus in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or newspapers:
“East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It takes twenty or so years before a mother can know with any certainty how effective her theories have been—and even then there are surprises. The daily newspapers raise the most frightening questions of all for a mother of sons: Could my once sweet babes ever become violent men? Are my sons really who I think they are?”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
