Column: My journey through Ethic News from a Trekkie’s perspective
By CHRISTIAN MORRISON “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.

Column: A formal goodbye to Ethic News
By DORIAN NEIGHBORS I was never particularly fond of the idea of saying goodbye to the publication I had put so much time and love into. My time in Ethic may have been short, but it meant the world to me. Before joining this club, I lacked direction. I had a vague idea of what…

Column: This is my Ethic photo book
By BRANDON SAGLAM Foreword: I spent some time thinking about how I should say goodbye to this publication that means so much to me. I knew I had no perfect formula to senior year or even high school to share, nor do I believe I can write something so profound it would be meaningful to…

Column: The truth about high school from a valedictorian’s perspective
By VICTORIA CHUNG My name is Victoria Chung and I am Redlands East Valley High School’s valedictorian of the class of 2018. I’m writing this to tell you how much that doesn’t matter at all.

Column: Snowfall, Lil Uzi Vert and the internet: Why I will miss my time in Ethic News
By MATTHEW KRISTOFFERSEN Snow fell weekly on my middle school campus, but we never got a snow day. This, I reasoned, was a different kind of snow—not the icy, cold, fun-for-the-first-day-but-never-again kind of precipitation that Redlands never gets—but instead, it was something black, white and read all over: the school newspaper. This was a special…

Editor-in-chiefs’ letter: Ethic unites schools
BY MAYA SANCHEZ & LAURYN BEST Coming into the school year in August, I didn’t know how much time and energy that I would put into newspaper, into Ethic. I didn’t know how much it would mean to me nor did I know how much that it would shape who I am today. I say…

Column: Learning to grow up, Teachers, I Wish You Knew…
Teachers, I Wish You Knew… BY JASMYN GONZALEZ There are many different types of teachers. There are the teachers that are easy to talk to; easy to be honest and real with. There are the teachers that want nothing to do with students after the bell rings; the ones that could care less about their…
Column: Aspiring to reach positivity, A Year in Reflection
A Year in Reflection By KAYLAN ENGE I never would have guessed that I would end up writing publicly. When I was a kid I hated being told what to write; I still do actually. I strongly dislike writing essays and answering homework questions that require me to explain how I got my answer. However,…

Firsts and Lasts BY MAYA SANCHEZ, Editor-in-Chief This news publication is nearing its end: after this publication, there is the magazine, then it’s for next year’s team to start again.

Column: Making the Most of Your High School Timeline
Halftime By RYAN ARANDA When I was a freshman, all of the seniors would tell me about how fast high school would go by, and at the time, I didn’t believe them. Now that I’m a senior who is under two months away from graduating, I find myself giving a similar message. While all four…
