The survey will be available from February 3 until February 28. Your feedback is confidential, and reports will not identify individuals.

Charger Publications
Charger Publications is looking for new team members for our publications staff. Each year, we produce two student-created publications: Striker yearbook and Ultraviolet magazine. We need creative, talented students on our staff to help that tradition continue.
The Newspaper Association of America did a study which proved high school journalism students perform better on standardized tests, make higher GPAs and earn higher grades their first semester of college than their classmates. But, why should you consider joining our program?
- It's entirely project-based
- You learn everyday skills like writing, photography, communication, ethics, interviewing, fact gathering, graphic design and marketing
- It's a student-run program which gives you an opportunity to learn to lead a successful team
- You'll learn workplace and time-management skills like analytical thinking, peer collaboration, clear writing, and understanding of deadlines
- And, it's fun!
For more information, please see our flyer. Applications will be available in Room 1426 and in the front office beginning Wednesday, Feb. 5th. (For incoming freshmen, applications will be available on Leaman's campus in Ms. Bowe's classroom.)
