The TCHS Rampage newspaper is more than a series of headlines announcing scores of high school football games or campus updates. We cover stories that reveal human struggles, victories, and achievements. We cover the story of students with extraordinary talents, whether they are actors, artists, athletes, or simply people who are trying to make a difference in our community. 

We reach out beyond TCHS and even share the stories of our own heroes: the veterans of Temple City. We are the voice for the student body. Students have a platform and freedom to express themselves respectfully.

Newspaper staff, some who will be the future’s journalists, learn early on the importance of looking for the small, important details that reveal stories of overcoming hardships, and stories of different cultures and backgrounds. Our school newspaper keeps students connected. 

We hope to learn how to better share these stories at the JEA/NSPA Fall National High School Journalism Convention from Nov. 21-24 in Washington D.C. Donated money will be used towards plane ticket and hotel expenses. At the convention, we will be able to receive critiques on our newspaper, participate in write-off competitions, meet professional journalists, and attend various workshops about writing, photojournalism, editing, design, social media, and more. 

We aim to improve our print and online publication, and acquire valuable writing and communication skills in order to better serve and inform our students and the community. This is also our opportunity as aspiring journalists to prepare for our careers.

Everyone has a story, but not everyone’s story is told. We hope you will support us and our mission to share the untold stories of our community.
