The Word

The School Newspaper of Vista Ridge High School


I am so very glad you are on our VRHS news media staff! This job is one of the most rewarding you will

experience during your high school years! You provide the campus community with vital information. You are storytellers. You invite students to become invested in their campus. You offer accountability and encourage discussion of important issues. As a staffer, you will document events, inform your readers and create connections between a variety of people. You will get to meet a lot of people along your journey and have the opportunity to be part of an online publication you can be proud of. However, you must be willing to give a time commitment. As with all things that have deadlines, news media requires time outside of class. 


The Word is yours; let’s make it great. I hope you are ready to work hard and have a successful year!
