About Us

MISSION STATEMENT:

The Chariot is Troy High School’s newspaper, made for the students, by the students. The content of The Chariot varies from article to article, however, each article is based on a wide area of research. The Chariot staff and editorial board selects stories based on their relevance and emotional value to our community. The Chariot prioritizes covering stories from a wide range of perspectives and aims to report with accuracy and impartiality. The Chariot staff and Editorial Board take responsibility for selecting stories that are relevant to our community. 

The Chariot operates under a process of administrative review. Although the process of finding, writing, conceptualizing and designing belong to the students, administration has the final say before publishing. The process of review never leaves Troy High School before publication. Expressing the view of the entire diverse student body of Troy High School has always been its focus.
