Produced by a staff of 37 Maine West student writers, photographers, and artists, the Westerner has been the "student voice" of Maine West since the school's opening. Distributed to all Maine West students and staff 10 times a year, the Westerner has been recognized by the National Scholastic Press Association with multiple First Class rankings with special distinctions for writing, design, photography/art, and editorial leadership. In the past decade, students have won hundreds of individual awards from the National Quill and Scroll Society, Northern Illinois School Press Association, Illinois Women's Press Association, and the professional American Society of News Editors for their superior work.
The full Westerner staff meets weekly on Wednesdays after school in A201, and the editorial board meets daily in A202 with adviser Mrs. Laurie McGowan.
Ideas for coverage can be shared with the editorial board and Mrs. McGowan by contacting the Westerner office at 847/803-5734 or Mrs. McGowan at [email protected].
Students are invited to apply in March for a staff position on the upcoming Westerner staff.
