Read anything, free
Every story we have published, by section, tag or author. No login, no paywall, and no count of how many you have read.
The front page →VGNews is the student newsroom at Vista Grande.
We publish reporting, features, opinion, video and photography about our own school. Students write it, edit it and shoot it. Nothing on this site is behind a login or a paywall, and nothing is written by the district.

Using the site
What you can do here.
Everything on this site is free, and none of it is behind a login. Here is what is on it and where to find each thing.
Like what you read
A story or a video you thought was worth it can be liked from the bottom of the page. It takes one tap, it needs no account, and the count is the only thing we keep.
Find something to read →Search and browse
Search the whole archive by word, or work back through it by month. Every writer has a page with everything they have filed.
Search the archive →Video
The video desk publishes to YouTube and every video gets a page here, with the byline and the description that go with it.
Watch →The print issues
Each print issue is scanned and posted as a PDF you can read in the browser or download.
The print archive →Follow by feed
An RSS feed carries every story we publish, so you can read us in whatever app you already use without giving us an address.
The RSS feed →Tell us something
A tip, a pitch, or feedback on a story or on the site itself. Tips can be anonymous, and we never publish a name without asking first.
The submit form →The Spartan Weekly
A weekly email of what we published. It is still being put together, but you can leave an address now and be on the list when the first one goes out.

Open the submit form → Who runs this
Students, all of it. Every story carries the name of the person who wrote it, and every name on the masthead comes with what that person actually does and a school email you can write to.
The masthead →Nothing here is read by an administrator before it runs. Our adviser advises; they do not approve.
