The Lighthouse is produced by approximately 44 students across three sections of the journalism elective class taught by Ms. Tanya Pastor.

A print copy of the newspaper is published monthly between November and June. Electronic copies are available on issuu.com/lhslighthouse or in this Google Drive folder.

To be considered for publication, letters must be under 350 words and signed with the author’s first and last name. Authors will receive an email confirming publication of their letters, which may be edited for spelling, grammar, length or libelous content. The Lighthouse reserves the right to return letters for corrections and refuse publication of the letters it receives. 

Opinion articles, columns, reviews, personal narratives, podcasts and senior tributes represent the opinions of individual students on The Lighthouse staff.
