Our History: A Group with a Common Passion
The Woodbury High School Student Newspaper, The Current Uproar, was founded in 2000 after a group of individuals decided to turn their shared interests into an official student organization. Since then we’ve grown in numbers and have expanded what we offer to our members.
A series of student editors have kept this club running over the years, even throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our editor in the 2021-22 school year, Nikhil Jain, helped expand the club and make the paper even better than before.
During the 2022-23 school year, we introduced our first Newspaper Instagram account under the student leadership of Carson Macynski and Alexis McKim. Additionally, we welcomed retired Pioneer Press Editor Bob Shaw to our club. He helped members grow in their writing skills and we are excited to welcome him back again this year. We hope to continue to expand and gain readers this year as we build on the excellent foundation of our previous members.
