About

The Spartan is a student-run newspaper made by students at Thomas B. Doherty High School in Colorado Springs District 11. Thank you for visiting our site, supporting student journalism, and helping us further the voice of students at Doherty Spartans.

If you would like to join our staff, you can join our class during class registration.  This is a student-run team, and we welcome Doherty students with various opinions, backgrounds, and perspectives. Our program has grown, and we have sections 2nd and 3rd period. The journalism classes at Doherty are CTE classes where you can earn your PWR credit if you need it, and get hands-on experience being a journalist and learning about journalism.

There is a tab at the top of the page that takes you to a place where you can suggest stories.  Also, we welcome comments about our stories. We strive to have an accurate publication, so please notify us immediately if you notice any errors, and we will do our best to correct them. Keep in mind that comments that violate our tenets of “dignity and good taste” will not be published. As such, we do not permit the use of profanity, foul language, personal attacks, or the use of language that might be interpreted as libelous.

Thanks again for supporting our students’ First Amendment Rights.
