Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt stare amusingly at the camera. The interview is black and white, the accents are Western. From the first frame, this is no ordinary movie. This is another time when guys wear fringe, girls wear go-go boots and you are either a Twiggy or a Rolling Stone. The Moon landing...

Is journalism on its deathbed? We don’t know the answer for certain. But what we do know is that it’s losing support. And according to some, its credibility decreases every minute. But let’s step back and analyze. Maybe people are just afraid … and with good reason. There is a new p...

If you have ever watched a movie aimed at teens, you’ve seen this phenomenon before: a group of pink-clad girls giggling at each other as they walk down the school hallway, the “oohing” and “ahhing” crowd parting before them. Another girl, one separate from the clique, watches them make their...
Silence and remembrance
Lindsey DiConti, Guest Writer
September 19, 2019
Have you ever thought about what a moment of silence really means?

As a bustling...

A thank you to all our educators
May 14, 2019
When I was 6 years old, I came to Oak Hills Elementary School from a private preschool that indulged many, if not most, of my childish whims. I had a nap time after lunch, I could use the bathroom without having to flag a teacher down mid-lecture and we had pizza for lunch every Friday, good pizza. For...
