About

Founded in 2001, The Flintridge Press is the official student-run newspaper of Flintridge Preparatory School, an independent middle and high school in La Cañada Flintridge, California. We cherish our responsibility to provide students, faculty, staff and community members with news about Flintridge Prep and wider society. Our staff abides by the following editorial policy on journalistic integrity.

The Flintridge Press is an accessible public forum that publishes news, arts and entertainment, sports and opinion articles, in addition to Letters to the Editor and artistic pieces. In news articles, we cover all sides of an issue fairly and factually. Our newsroom strives to be as unbiased as humanly possible. Viewpoints expressed by writers in our opinion section do not represent the position of The Flintridge Press or Flintridge Preparatory School.

Our bedrock principle is that a free press needs a free people and a free people need a free press. Accordingly, the mission of The Flintridge Press is to platform the viewpoint diversity of Flintridge Prep’s students and promote respectful discourse on challenging topics.

We are grateful to faculty, staff and administrators for supporting our work. In particular, we thank Head of School Ms. Vanessa Walker-Oakes, Associate Head of School Ms. Sarah Cooper, Assistant Head for Student Life Mr. Barrett Jamison and faculty advisors Ms. Tanu Srivastava and Ms. Jenny McHargue.
