THE SEARCHLIGHT
The Searchlight is Walpole High School’s newspaper from Walpole, Massachusetts. Published both in print and online, The Searchlight serves as the school newspaper of Walpole, Massachusetts. Content comes exclusively from Walpole High students, most of whom participate in journalism classes, but any student is welcome to participate and contribute.
The Searchlight’s mission is to unify our readers into one cohesive community. Without compromising the integrity of the Searchlight as a respectable publication, we strive to inform the public, reflect the students’ views, create a public forum and serve as an educational medium.
For the past three years, the New England Scholastic Press Association has awarded Class I First Place in the print and online categories to The Searchlight. In November of 2015, we attended the National JEA/NSPA Journalism Conference in Orlando, Florida.
