Top 10 Best Online High School Newspapers

You've got opinions, and this is your chance to put them to work. From the breaking news blurbs to the deeply researched features, these online high school newspapers are run by students who aren't just doing homework. They're chasing stories, asking tough questions, and making journalism look easy even when it absolutely isn't.
The Top Ten
The Feather (Fresno Christian High School)

As a non-attendee of the high school and someone really into film and graphic arts, I can see the dedication and hard work these students are putting into this site. If I ever had to pull up an example of extraordinary student work, this would definitely be my first pick. While some papers, mine included, might update every week or so with a video here and there, The Feather really steps up its game and produces both quantity and quality stories. Great job.

This journalism program is an elite group of high school students who get articles done. Their content is authentic, and their topics are real. Their consistency in publishing articles every day is amazing, and I have been impressed beyond imagination. Every day I am inspired by their work, and I hope they continue to publish and inspire many others as they grow and expand over the years.

Incredible writing and design! This is my top pick in the nation. Dow Tate has them on an amazing path!

Great website. I have never seen anything like it. Truly the best online newspaper on the planet.

Wayland Student Press (Wayland High School)

Not only is the Wayland Student Press's design easy to navigate and visually appealing, but the quality and creativity of their content - from their videos to their breaking news pieces - are of the highest caliber.

This was extremely great. Good work!

Silver Chips (Montgomery Blair High School)

It is just a great, well-run paper with quality content.

I think Silver Chips is the best high school newspaper that I've ever read.

Saxon Scope (Langley High School)

This website is extremely organized, informative, and interactive. It is updated several times a day with quality writing and high-resolution images. It also makes good use of interactive stories, which is not something many other high school news websites do. The Saxon Scope qualified as an NSPA Online Pacemaker finalist in 2011.

Penn Points Online (Penn Manor High School)

First year going online and first year winning a national scholastic award. It can't get any better.

I liked this one out of all of them.

The Raider Reader (Blue Ridge High School)

The Raider Reader offers the New Milford community news about its school and gives the students of Blue Ridge School District a voice. Excellent news source.

An excellent example of an online news site built and maintained consistently by Blue Ridge High School students from New Milford, PA.

The Pathfinder (Francis Howell High School)

One of the best high school newspapers I've seen in a long time. The staff is consistent with their updates. There are stories on everything from the presidential election to the smallest club at the school, and they use multiple types of media. The Pathfinder also updates their Twitter regularly and uses social media consistently to promote their stories. Nicely done.

The students on this staff seem dedicated to the craft of journalism and are not afraid to try new things.

The Kirkwood Call (Kirkwood High School)

One of the best, most consistent, and highest-achieving high school newspapers. They publish every article online and have a free monthly printed paper.

With a staff of over 90, this online newspaper looks professional and is easy to navigate. They push a lot of content, both on their website and in their print newspaper, which can be accessed online as well.

The Foothill Dragon Press (Foothill Technology High School)

This newspaper has won the National Pacemaker Award more than any other high school newspaper. Definitely one of the best in the country.

The Raptor Researcher (Canyon Ridge High School)

One of the greatest new online newspapers out there. Open for only two months, it has 237 daily views and 700 average weekly views. I enjoyed reading it, and I'll be happy to continue doing so in the future!

I liked it a lot! Beautiful styling and impressive coverage, especially in a relatively new environment!
