EICs present at JEA, 10 journalists bring home ideas to grow program
"Journalism depends on the people you meet and the relationships you [[make]]," The Reflector yearbook Co-Editor-in-Chief and 42Fifty Photography Editor Liam Piekarczyk reminisced at the end of his trip to Nashville, TN, last weekend when he returned from the Journalism Education Association (JEA) Convention. "That is one of the things that make [[journalism]] special... Being able to collaborate and share stories with people." Piekarczyk is not alone. Nine fellow OH student journalists joined him in feeling this spirit of scholastic journalism after attending the four-day convention on Thurs., Nov. 13 - Sun., Nov. 16, with 5,312 total attendees from 46 states and eight countries. A highlight of the trip was the first student presentation for OH students at this convention: three editors-in-chief, including Piekarczyk and 42Fifty Co-Editors-in-Chief Brandyn Hudson and Ethan Monahan, gave a presentation about OH's successful involvement of the student body during Scholastic Journalism Week, held each February.

Staff Editorial: OH’s local warmth melts Trump’s national chill on Title VI
In a national climate where the government leaders support masked ICE agents dragging down teachers in schools and out of cars on streets, one might imagine that the climate for civility and equality in schools would be equally as bleak. Turns out, that is in fact the opposite for the civility of Oswego High School students. According to the 2025 OH Panorama student survey, completed by 81% of the student body, 71% of students responded that they “got along very well” or “got along extremely well” in “the past two weeks with students who are different” from them, which was up one percent point from fall of 2024. Way more people of different backgrounds, with different beliefs, are getting along.
