Our Editorial Policy

The ODYSSEY is a student-produced Newsmagazine and online publication, published with the intent to inform, entertain and give voice to the Clarke Central High School community, as well as to educate student journalists.

Both the website and each issue are public forums for student expression under the guidance of a faculty adviser. Student journalists are provided with opportunities to investigate, inform, interpret and evaluate all traditionally accepted functions of the American press. Published opinions do not necessarily reflect the views of anyone other than the writers.

The goals of the staff are to provide fair, accurate news and commentaries, as well as to serve the interests of the school and Athens communities. Publication of advertisements does not indicate an endorsement by CCHS or by the ODYSSEY staff. Students pictured in advertisements are not given monetary compensation.

All advertising rates are available upon request from any ODYSSEY staff member.
