Read the HeraldThe Herald covers what actually happens at Venus Star: results from the debate team and the Innovation Lab, interviews with new staff, updates from student government, and the occasional opinion piece nobody on staff fully agrees with. It's run entirely by students, from reporting through layout, with a faculty advisor who reads drafts but doesn't write them.
