In less than one year, The Atomic Cougar Press Association (A.C.P.A.) has grown from a small student-led group within our school into a recognized voice for independent journalism and free expression. What began as a simple idea, A few students determined to tell the truth and share stories that matter has evolved into a movement making real change.
Since our founding, the A.C.P.A. has gone from publishing within our school walls to conducting exclusive interviews with local and state leaders including the Ohio Governor. We’ve launched our official podcast, Major Events and Interviews, to bring important conversations directly to the public and give a platform to voices that deserve to be heard.
Our mission has always been clear: to inform, inspire, and empower through truthful reporting and fearless journalism. Now, as we continue to grow, we’re working to expand our community beyond the school, inviting new members, supporters, and listeners to join us in shaping the future of the A.C.P.A.
What started as a vision has become a voice and this is only the beginning.
