About
We are a small passionate team.
Who & What Are We?
We want to bring a News club to the students of NeoCity where they can
receive monthly news from the school. The newspaper will raise awareness
for important purchases, such as tickets for HOCO, that would fund the
school and get more people to be involved with events. The newspaper would
promote events such as HOCO, tournaments, competitions, and club events.
Students will be able to enjoy a source of quality content every month as
a summary, reminder, or entertainment for the school. By understanding the
struggles of running a club where students would forget meetings or become
unaware of club activities, we have created a place for us to view the
club meeting times and current projects. We believe this would give more
opportunities for students to join clubs they are passionate about. A
newspaper would also create a way for students to bond and be more
inclusive. A source of entertainment would not only bring the whole school
together but would promote positive interactions between students.

Description Of Each Category
-
News:
-
The “News” section will promote important school events such as open
house, yearly homecomings, spring dances, tournament of the knights
(Tok), movie nights, testing dates, scholarship opportunities, and
deadlines for college applications or event purchases. Students would
have access to a trustworthy site where they could browse through the
most crucial updates they tend to miss when passing by hallway posters.
Therefore, the “News” section will aid the students and staff of NeoCity
by serving as a biweekly breakdown/announcement.
-
Arts & Entertainment:
-
The “Arts and Entertainment” section proudly presents the creative sides
of the students at NeoCity Academy. Impressive projects would be laid
out on the page to show others the thought process behind the
outstanding efforts. Students may even send in their proudest work from
their portfolio to show the whole school. To create a fun and social
environment, this section would also include top movie, tiktoks, or song
recommendations.
-
Features
-
The “features” section is dedicated to featuring clubs and teams that
have either created extraordinary work, partook in a school, county,
state-wide competition, or were selected by the school to represent
NeoCity. The goal of featuring a specific team or person is to show
recognition for the efforts that usually go unnoticed. It would also
help other clubs document their accomplishments needed to sustain their
club. Since a new class of freshman enter NeoCity every year, the
features section can be a way to introduce the various clubs/interest at
the school.
Insights:
The “insights” section will serve as an outlet for the opinions of the
students, teachers, or admin of the school. Often, the voices of the
students are unheard unless they are brought to attention on a school
website. Students would have the option to interact with the news club
through opinions as well. For instance, giving their own perspective on an
issue, event, competition, or their experience as part of a team. The
opinions give a human touch to the newspaper.
