Dear Readers, 

Welcome back to school! I’m super excited to be the Editor in Chief of the Red and Black for the 2025-2026 school year!  

Every new school year comes with its challenges, but here at the Red and Black I believe we set ambitious goals and strive for greatness. 

This year, I hope we can increase the newspaper’s morale and club involvement with the expansion of the journalism class, Raider TV, and our podcasts! 

With the journalism class at the high school becoming year-round, I’m eagerly awaiting all the pieces it’ll produce and the variety of articles we can publish to our site! Increasing our article turnout is very important, and the fact that members can write about anything, like their interests and current events, is part of what makes this club special. 

Last school year, we held auditions for new Raider TV field reporters and anchors, and the turnout was absolutely incredible! I hope we can release more Raider TV episodes and successfully implement Good Morning Raiders, our weekly broadcasted morning announcements into the school day. This year, I hope we can attend and submit broadcasts to BASH to win some awards commemorating our hard work. 

As always, I hope the club can work together to obtain as many SNO, or School Newspapers Online badges as a common goal that can bring us together and be a testament to the hard work of each and every member of the Red and Black.  

I’d like to thank Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs. Mckeough for giving me this wonderful opportunity and for their support and encouragement, and I know the club wouldn’t be the same without their dedication. I am greatly looking forward to what the Red and Black can accomplish this year!  

Thank you to all of our returning members for your continued passion and hard work! To new members or anyone curious about joining, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the club! 

 I’d also like to give a special thanks to all those who read our articles and consume our media at home. Your support for the Red and Black is greatly appreciated! 

 The Red and Black is held in room 284 on Thursdays, and everyone is welcome. Always remember to follow us on Instagram @pmhsredandblack for any updates regarding our articles, broadcasts, and podcasts!
