ABOUT US
The Lightning Letter is about to begin its third year at Legacy High School. Our club consists of dedicated and passionate students who wish to share their writing/art with their peers. The Lightning Letter reaches across all groups and interests, publishing anything from sports to news to photography to comics. By joining, students gain real-life experience in a journalistic setting; they also become more familiar with happenings around the school. If you have a voice that you want others to hear, or have a passion for writing, photography, or comics, then this is the club for you.
​
For its first 2 years, this publication was online. This year, the club is excited to announce that it's moving to print; during remote learning, the publication will be an e-letter to minimize the spread of COVID-19. The Fall Issue will be released around late October.
Updates
The Lightning Letter is moving to the classroom! Beginning in the second semester of the 2020-2021 school year, Legacy will be offering a Newspaper-Journalism class for grades sophomore and up. The club will continue to run alongside the class, providing a place for freshman to get the hang of writing for a high-school level publication and for other students to get involved in the newspaper if they are unable to attend the class for any reason.
​
Our first meeting is on September 8th! Mark the date in your calendar.
Due to the unique situation of the 2020-2021 school year, our club will be hosting meetings online for the foreseeable future. If you have questions or wish to express interest, contact information will be listed below.
