IVHigh features the journalism efforts — writing, photography and video — of high school students throughout Imperial County, California. Under the mentorship and supervision of the Imperial Valley Press, both in the classroom and after school, high school students from the areas major campuses come together on a single app to let their peers, parents, educators and beyond know what is happening in their world.
Through traditional journalistic principles, fundamental lessons and new era social media techniques comes the creativity and fun of IVHigh. It all starts in the classroom, but ends up everywhere via IVHigh and IVHigh.com, its companion website. And, through permission of the leader in high school sports websites, each schools page leads to their sports information through MaxPreps.com.
