The school's newspaper, which is among the few student-run newspapers in Clark County, is beginning a new year with a new staff. At top, a print edition of the Falcon Flyer, published in May, served as a testament to the year's senior class and the many trials and tribulations they faced during high school.

High school newspapers have long served as training grounds for journalists, including many at The Columbian. Now these publications — known best for their coverage of the Friday night football game or student activism — are becoming a rarity in Clark County.

At Prairie High School, one teacher is seeking to revive interest and student participation in the school’s long-running student publication, the Falcon Flyer, after in-person shutdowns in the beginning stages of the COVID-19 pandemic halted its production.
