What is The Shield?

Welcome to The Shield! Westmont’s newspaper appears online monthly, and is run by a hardworking class of students who write articles as well as design pages. From Global News to Westmont Updates, Op/Ed articles to the latest fashion and food trends, there are reads for everyone. The Shield involves the whole student body through games, surveys, and includes writing from anyone interested in submitting their work. Thanks to our hardworking staff and wonderful advisor Andrew Evans, Issue 1 of The Shield is ready to read!
