Whitfield School - Publications

Publications

Whitfield has several publications, both traditional and innovative. All of the school's publications are extracurricular and student-run. Most publications are named after Greek works of literature.

The school's yearbook, The Iliad, is published annually and is completely designed by students with the help of a faculty advisor who oversees the meetings. The books are distributed on Field Day, where the day is spent more on signing yearbooks than on actual Field Day events.

The school's newspaper, The Odyssey, is published monthly and is student-run and edited, with a faculty advisor. This paper contains articles features articles about large-scale issues that impact society as a whole, movies and other forms of entertainment, and school-wide news and polls.

The school's online magazine, The Aeneid, is an experimental and innovative publication whose purpose has been re-defined several times. It offers more time-sensitive articles and more urgent issues than what the Odyssey might feature. The publication is entirely student edited and student run. It also has opportunities for people interested in technology because the magazine requires a staff of programmers to build and maintain the site.

The school's literary magazine, The Secret Voice, is published once a year and contains works of art and literature, submitted throughout the course of the year by students and faculty. These anonymous submissions are reviewed by a selection committee which decides, based on several factors, what should be included in that year's edition.
