About

PURPOSE:

The Stripe Chronicle’s purpose is to provide an authentic journalistic opportunity for students—including but not limited to news-reporting, opinion writing, photojournalism, cartoon and graphic art, videography, and other forms of expression in line with a school news site—in order to inform, reflect, enlighten, and imbue the Upper School student body with valid and vital information.
