About
The UltraViolet’s mission is to produce a quality publication that addresses issues of importance to the Marlborough community, sparks interest among and informs its readers, demonstrates ethical, fair and objective news reporting, and represents a range of opinions.
The UltraViolet is a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association, and its staffers have won awards and honors from these prestigious organizations. Please click here for a list of these awards and honors.
Marlborough School’s Upper School newspaper, The UltraViolet, is published by its students five to six times a year, under the supervision and guidance of a faculty advisor.
Students who work on The UV learn and develop reporting, interviewing and leadership skills. Further, students learn how to layout and design a newspaper using programs such as InDesign and Photoshop. Student reporters also have the opportunity to improve communication and people skills when working with or interviewing other staff members, school administrators and those outside the Marlborough community.
