“Drumbeat” is our school’s literary magazine.  All students, alumni, and faculty are invited to submit poems, short stories, essays, and one act plays for inclusion. “Drumbeat” editors meet twice a month for readings and critical assessment of work submitted.  The art department is asked to illustrate specific poems. etc. Near our bi-yearly deadline dates for printing we meet almost daily, for typing and layout decisions. Students have an opportunity to enhance their literary appreciation and organizational skills.  They also develop a sense of responsibility. Our finished product is evidence of their accomplishments.  “Drumbeat” also sponsors “Open Mic” nights with poetry and music.
