This fall marks the fourth year of our popular School Buzz blog, a place for high school students to share what’s happening at their campuses. In that time, we’ve seen freshmen transform into seniors and high school grads head off to college.

School Buzz correspondents have created hundreds of blog posts over the years, giving behind-the-scenes glimpses into their campuses, students, teachers, classes and activities. Now, we’re welcoming new writers, photographers and videographers into the program. Currently, we have more than 60 students representing 21 local schools.

If you’re in high school and are passionate about writing, photography or creating videos, it’s not too late to apply. Fill out the form or email [email protected].

Meet all of our 2017-18 correspondents and see their blog posts.
