Message from the Staff

Welcome to the home of Beverly Underground, a newspaper run for and by the students of Beverly Hills High School. Our goal is to provide students with credible and verified reports regarding the issues that concern them. We, unlike our school sponsored paper Highlights, plan to print stories that are not censored by our administration. Our articles will instead focus on the stories the school tries to keep at bay. We feel we will be able to provide you with the maximum amount of quality stories if we publish once a month. This is the November issue. We will publish each issue the first Sunday of each month during the school year. Since we will have half of the December month off of school and many writers will be on vacation, the next issue will not come out until February 1st. You can check the left column to see the date that a particular article was posted or changed on. We welcome any submissions by students who wish to have their articles published. If you have any questions, suggestions, or wish to have your work published, please contact our publisher, Zack Anderson, at publisher@beverlyunderground.org. Please have all stories in by the end of each month to appear in the next issue. If you are new to the site, feel free to look at the previous issues by clicking the "archives" button directly underneath the logo at the top of the page.

Mission Statement

Beverly Underground is an independent student newspaper at Beverly Hills High School published to uphold the First Amendment. It is our right to voice our concerns and our mission is just that. Beverly Underground Newspaper is here to serve the students and provide an uncensored forum for students to make their ideas heard. We strive to provide both accurate and balanced stories that may be perceived as either positive or negative. We will publish the stories that concern the students. We do not censor our articles. We report the truth. Beverly Underground Newspaper's quest is to publish stories, editorials, cartoons, photos, commentary, criticisms, and other material throughout the school year. Much of the material we print will be controversial and non-mainstream, but that's why we are here. Any student with an opinion can send us an article and be heard. The power of the written word is great and it is our mission to convey the words of the students.
