The Trojanier is a student led and student run newspaper at Rigby High School. Student staffers are in grades 9-12. Our staff writes most of the articles that appear in the paper and online, occasionally, a guest writers or artists will have their work published.
As a staff and advisor, the we strive to provide complete and accurate information in each issue of The Trojanier. Sometimes, however, mistakes are made (we are students after all). When mistakes are made, corrections will be made in the next issue. Only significant errors will be publicly corrected, but all errors will be noted and continuous efforts will be made to improve the quality and accuracy of the paper.
