As a student publication, we find it extremely important to put out our work in a way that will be convenient for the school community. We believe it is important for our readers to know how we are able to do these things. We ensure this through our Mission Statement, with four main pillars.
The first is to inform our readers thoroughly and accurately of all events and issues relative to students, staff and community across media platforms. This means that we put out a physical copy of our publication for each issue, while also utilizing media platforms online and on social media. This also means that we cover everything happening throughout the school, and The Owl is a reliable place to access that news.
Our second point of emphasis is to provide a forum for student opinions through our editorials and letters to the editor. This means that whenever we publish content, or even before we do so, students can submit letters to the editor expressing their thoughts and opinions on any given subject that has been discussed in our magazine or subjects that they think should be discussed in the future. These can be sent to harricam002@warren.k12.in.us via email or handwritten and delivered to the newsroom in G102. We take these letters seriously and look forward to hearing the voices of others.
The third goal is to entertain readers with focus and feature items. This is as simple as it sounds. We strive to provide content to our readers that they enjoy reading and that leaves them excited to see more.
Our fourth and final pillar is to promote meaningful ideas that better the outlook and experience of the school environment. We believe it is important that we tell stories that have meaning, rather than provide information that is not cared about by most people. We also would like to promote the school and its community as much as possible.
Overall, we are excited to begin this year, and we hope our readers look forward to picking up a copy of the Warren Central Owl this year. It will be extra special this year as we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Warren Central High School.
