MHS Newspaper: Straight From The Horse’s Mouth

Straight from the Horse’s Mouth is the Student Magazine for Mandarin High School’s Journalism Program. This student-created publication is planned, written, designed, and edited by the 2026-2027 staff; we are so proud to share the voice of the student body and events on and off the campus of MHS. 

Now that school is in full swing, it’s time for Straight from the Horse’s Mouth to cover what’s most familiar: a world full of change. It’s easy to get caught up within the whirlwind of school and thoughts of the future. College applications are on the horizon for our seniors, the SAT looms over our juniors, the transition phase is almost done for our sophomores, and our freshmen are still working their way towards being fully acclimated. Remember, readers, that the world is so much more than test scores, and you can always persevere through the adversities an ever-changing reality brings.

As we step into the third year of running Straight from the Horse’s Mouth, I am so excited to see how this magazine continues to evolve. Last year was a full transformation, with necessary frameworks being made. Additions like the style guide and a step-by-step schedule to stay on top of publishing have made this magazine something I’m truly proud of. I’ve grown such a love for writing and design through this publication and am excited to see how much more SFTHM can bloom.
