Our Publications
Élan is the strongest example of our department’s mission to study and disseminate the craft of creative writing. A staff of high school juniors and seniors compile original work submitted by young writers and artists from across the globe.
Élan publishes two online editions per year, in the fall and spring, as well as a print compilation at the end of each school year. The current print edition is a representation of the incredible work created by students and curated by an all student-led staff. The editors describe the work in this edition as being “…for those discovering their power and wisdom.”
