Perspectives Magazine
Students also prepare and distribute a literary-art magazine of student-submitted work called Perspectives. It is published once a year, and distributed during the spring semester. Dr. Charles Hannah started the magazine in 1987 as an after-school activity. Since then, Perspectives has become a full class that meets first block every other day. The 2012 edition will be the 25th issue.

Famous quotes containing the word magazine:
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
