The Talon Newspaper
The Talon Magazine, an outgrowth of a newspaper founded in 1957, is the school's independent student magazine. The publication has received numerous awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the New England Scholastic Press Association. Printed by Cummings Printing in Hooksett, New Hampshire, the 20-page full color newspaper is published eight times each school year and distributed to students, faculty, local businesses and parents.
The publication transitioned from a newspaper to a magazine format during the 2009-2010 school year under the direction of Editor-in-Chief Chris Allen and Assistant Editors Chris Pope and Nick Ferreri. The first issue of the magazine was released on the first day of the school year. For the new 2010-2011 school year the Editor-in-Chief was Jack Tisdall with no Assistant Editors. It then returned to a newspaper setting in the Winter of 2011.
The magazine is produced by students who research, write, and design each issue. A variety of topics are covered in each issue, ranging from news and politics to sports and entertainment. Since 1986, the group has been advised by Rob Schneider, an English teacher at Exeter High School.
In 2010, The Talon was recognized as the best high school magazine in New England by the New England Scholastic Press Association (for schools with over 1,000 students).
