As the 2025–2026 school year begins, The Statesman staff is proud to welcome students, teachers, and staff back to campus for another year of learning, growth, and community. The start of a new year always brings a sense of excitement and possibility—and this year, we’re eager to continue telling the stories that define our Charger family.

Student journalism plays an important role at Churchill. Through our reporting, photography, and editorial writing, we strive to inform, inspire, and connect our readers. From coverage of campus events and student life to in-depth features and opinion pieces, our goal is to represent the diverse voices and perspectives that make our school unique.

As we begin this new chapter, we invite the Churchill community to engage with our work—read our stories, share your experiences, and let us know what matters to you. Every article we publish reflects the pride and spirit of our school, and we look forward to another year of thoughtful, accurate, and passionate journalism.

Here’s to a strong start and a successful year ahead. Welcome back, Chargers.
