To a weary high school journalism adviser, the communications magnet program at Grady High School in Atlanta must seem like the Lake Wobegon of high school journalism, where "all of the children are above average." The home of the highly decorated Southerner newspaper, a twenty-page monthly complete with a glossy bimonthly magazine pullout, the magnet program draws budding communicators from all over Atlanta. The front page of the September 2005 issue of The Southerner included a story about the Gaza pullout, a story about Grady graduates who had entered Tulane right before Hurricane Katrina struck, and a news brief about a Grady junior who had an article published in an academic journal of astrophysics. While some high school advisers find themselves issuing constant reminders that the world is bigger than homecoming, Dave Winter, the faculty adviser of The Southerner, says his staff itches to cover news beyond the Grady campus.
