THE RETURN OF THE HIGHLANDER Highland Academy recovers a part of history and brings back The Highlander newspaper to its campus! Carlie Alveraz and Abigail Hosler
This year, Highland Academy is excited to announce that the The Highlander newspaper is on our campus! We believe it started in the 1950’s. “Each week students looked forward to seeing the latest news, from what was happening in the dorms, to who won the last intramural games,” said Pastor Steve Rose, a former member of the highland newspaper. As the New Highlander staff, we hope to achieve this for our generation. The newspaper is something that parents, grandparents, and friends can read the magazine to see what life is like for their student on campus. The we hope that the paper will publish practical information to make campus life easier and more fun for students, staff, and people around them. In an interview, Principal Watkins, he was asked what he hopes the “Each week students looked forward to seeing the latest news, from what was happening in the dorms. To who won the last intramural games” newspaper will be like. He said that it is another great way for students to be informed about what’s happening in the school. Additionally, he said, “It is a great way for students with a love for journalism, writing, and photography to use those skills in a more organized way and possibly pursue them later on.”
Bringing back The Highlander to the highland academy campus will not only provide something for students to enjoy once each month, but will be something they will be able to hold on to for memories. They will be able to look back on and remember among the highschool days. Among students from the 1950s through the 1980s some still look back, and reminisce even today about their Highlander articles. With The Highlander coming back to our campus, we will have a keepsake for ourselves and future generations to look back, and remember what life was like at Highland during their time. We have nothing but excitement for the “Revival of The Highlander” on our campus!
In December 2022 some of our newspaper staff had the opportunity to visit Southern Adventist University’s campus and talk with the staff of their newspaper, the Southern studnet editors. The southern student editors demonstated how they work together with their staff and the work that goes into behind the newspaper. They gave our students a direction of where to start as well as advice and tips for the desgin.
