America hadn\u2019t had a moment of rest in the last decade. We\u2019ve seen two historic presidential elections, a national outcry against gun violence, an unprecedented movement wrestling with the consequences of racism in America, and a pandemic that turned the world upside down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nor has Grace. Just over a decade ago, our high school — and its newspaper — didn\u2019t exist. When the nation reacted to Donald Trump\u2019s 2016 upset — and his 2020 defeat — that high school reacted with it. When leaders in the movement against gun violence in schools called for a national walkout, Grace made the local news. In March 2020, Grace joined the ever-increasing group of schools to shutter its doors in response to a new, rapidly-spreading virus. And, when America reckoned with its legacy of systemic racism, Grace drew national attention for its own effort to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To mark the occasion of the Grace Gazette\u2019s tenth year, we\u2019re incredibly proud to present the Gazette\u2019s first-ever print edition. It\u2019s a ten-year, ten-page celebration of student journalism. From politics to student life — hard-hitting news to silly satire — it\u2019s a capsule of the spirit and history of our paper, school, and country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
