About

The Raider Press

The Raider Press is the student newspaper of Derby High School. Most articles published in The Raider Press are written by students in Journalism classes. The Journalism students are also responsible for the newspaper website’s layout, editorial policy, and content decisions.

“The Raider Press’ mission is to keep the Derby community informed about school and community events, and give students a voice while promoting diverse perspectives.” — The Raider Press Staff

The Raider Press is a forum for free speech at Derby High School. Editorials represent the opinions of the writer and not those of the newspaper or the school.
