Editorial Policy

Valor Dictus, the high school student media organization at Robinson Secondary School and all its publications, including valor-dictus.com, the Valor Dictus print publication and Valor Dictus on Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram @valordictusnews, serve as public forums for the school community.

Unsigned editorials express the majority opinion of the newspaper staff enrolled in the Journalism 2-4 class. Signed opinion columns, guest submissions and letters to the editor represent the opinions of the writers and not necessarily those of the staff.

The Valor Dictus staff welcomes guest opinions and letters to the editor. Guest opinions and letters must be signed with the author’s name, title or grade, personal e-mail and phone contact information. Writers will be contacted by the editor before their submissions are published. Opinions and letters may be emailed to [email protected], or dropped off to Mr. Moore in B226. A staff member will contact the writer to verify authorship before publication.

The Valor Dictus staff reserves the right to edit submissions for length, content, accuracy, clarity and grammar. Acceptance of a submission is not a guarantee of publication. Guest opinions and letters to the editor must be appropriate for a school audience.
