Nick Junker
As the teacher/sponsor of the Herd Herald, It is my responsibility to assist the students with building a news site worthy of the great students we have here at Republic County High School. My role is to provide the students with journalistic guidance, ethics, and growth as researchers and writers. The students will develop interpersonal skills, research and writing skills, web design techniques, and their own unique journalistic style. This is a project is housed in the Current Issues course, and is driven by the students with my oversight.
