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 2025-2026 staff; we are so proud to share the voice of the student body and events on and off the campus of MHS.

March flew by, and we are about to have another bit of a break. Take some time to read the latest edition of Straight from the Horse’s Mouth! This month we talk not only about the History of St. Patrick but also about the History of the Conflict with Iran since the 1970s. We celebrate Women’s History month with notable female authors, how Spring highlights students and teacher’s “Interfaith Connections”, preview upcoming events around our campus like the “Fashion Show” and “The Addams Family”. Delve into deeper topics of “Teen Takeover” misconceptions and the plight of the homeless in “Spare Change.” As always, find your favorite cartoons, interviews, and reviews!

Love to all of our readers! Straight from the Horse’s Mouth in February brings you the history of St. Valentine’s Day, as well as honoring Black Voices for Black History Month. Your Student Voices delves into conflicts at home and abroad, new technologies to bring medicine into the future, and a preview of a race around the US Capitol. This month’s focus on “Subscriptions for Our Lives” proposes the bigger questions of whether we really own anything anymore. As always, find your favorite cartoons, interviews, and reviews!
