Why The SHIELD?
By: Nels Lyman and Giselle Kendall
​
Throughout history, shields have not only played a role of protection and defense, but they have served as symbolic representations of the group they were defending. As Patriot Warriors, we see our own school’s shield all throughout campus reminding us of who we are and what we stand for. Our Journalism Club is proud to present The Warrior SHIELD, as our school’s publication.
​
The SHIELD uses values in journalism to inform and educate, empower, and ultimately unite our student body, staff, and community. The SHIELD is an acronym that stands for Strength, Honor, Inspiration, Empowerment, Legacy, and Discovery.
-
Strength - To defend values on our campus that provide safety and security for all.
-
Honor - To represent the truth with accuracy and authenticity.
-
Inspire - To use story-telling for a meaningful purpose.
-
Empower - To shine on underrepresented groups on campus and difficult or unforgotten topics.
-
Legacy - To leave behind a footprint of words and pictures that inspire others to continue the work.
-
Discovery - To ask questions, and explore new topics, perspectives, and points of view.​
​
We recognize these as the core values of everything we write, investigate, capture, and advocate for. Welcome to The Warrior SHIELD!
