Our Mission
We will create an interesting and informative student-run publication, chronicling the events of High Tech High North County.
Meet the Team
High Tech High North County's first official school newspaper team was formed in the fall of the 2014-15 school year. Through each dedicated member, and their individual goals, Raptor Report has become an important part of the HTHNC culture.

Claire Wilson
