The administrative team at Patterson High School asked us to share this message about the January 2025 print edition of the Patterson Press.

“We are so proud of our students’ efforts in producing the January 2025 Patterson Press publication. In this edition, our scholars have captured their school level experiences, academic and athletic successes, issues that are germane to them and their peers, cultural and seasonal celebrations, political and social issues, and many successes and experiences of students and teams in the Patterson family.

As you read today’s Patterson Press publication, please read it through the lens of our scholars. You will find that our students captured data through their lens and the lens of interviewed staff who do not have access to formal data portals, so data is estimated. Please know that by law, there should be no/limited alteration of student writings/messages as students voice their perspectives. These journalism students’ perspectives may or may not be shared by fellow students, teachers, staff, or administration, but as always, we celebrate and encourage the efforts of our scholars. They are budding journalists.”
