Letter From The Editor

For this issue, we covered several relevant topics and events including DPMHS’ use of the online learning platforms APEX and Edgenuity, upcoming financial aid deadlines, Valentine’s Day and teen online safety. We worked to include a variety of visuals including infographics, artwork and photos. We also prioritized amplifying student voices by conducting surveys for two of our primary articles.

The biggest challenge we faced when putting this issue together was a very short production period. Since winter break ended on Jan. 9, we only had about three weeks between the first day of the spring semester and the day we went to press. Despite our limited time, we pushed ourselves to communicate, collaborate and produce high-quality content. We hope you find this issue informative and engaging.
