Frontier High School

 

 

 

 

 

Inflight is the Frontier High School newspaper.  Its a student run paper, in which the kids submit newsworthy articles.  These articles go through an editing process and if approved, are printed in the newspaper.  Inflight creates papers throughout the school year and the numbers are based on students submissions.  The news staff is comprised of editors for both print and copy, writers, columnists, photographers and cartoonists.  We are always looking for students who have a passion for any of those areas and believe this experience will enhance their learning experience while at Frontier.  

 

Inflights past members have won numerous awards at the Western New York writers association events at Fredonia college (Most of which are on display in the students office in room 230).  Past writers have gone on to editor positions at colleges such as St. Bonaventure, Colgate, Yale, University of Buffalo and Fredonia.  In addition, past students have been members of staffs at Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, UB and many others.  Students have entered the field of journalism or completed college internships with their prior experience.
