About Us

The Talon began in the 2014-2015 school year with John Adams High School's creative writing classes. Students came together and selected submitted written works from students and faculty which were then compiled into a literary magazine. Over the past six years the magazine has grown immensely with multiple students and faculty submitting each year.

The arts showcase aspect of the magazine was added to allow the creative talent (in all forms) of John Adams's students, faculty, staff, and alumni to be displayed.

We hope you enjoy perusing previous magazines!

Submissions for the magazine open to all John Adams High School (of South Bend, IN) students, faculty, staff, and alumni in Oct-Nov and run till the end of 1st semester. The magazine is released around the last week of May.
