About

Our Mission

Our staff aims to inform and engage the school community by sharing accurate and entertaining news.

By representing multiple perspectives, we can empower students to showcase their unique stories, talents, and ideas.

The A&D Observer is supported by Press Pass NYC!

Press Pass NYC’s free programs are all in service of helping New York City public schools start and sustain a successful school newspaper program in a comprehensive way. Unlike outside-school opportunities for individual students, Press Pass NYC’s focus is on creating journalistic value and opportunities for the entire school community, enabling schools to create a culture of appreciation for journalism and student voice through a school newspaper; training teachers to lead a credit-bearing course as well as advise a school newspaper program; and engaging students in authentic, project-based, community-centered learning that they would otherwise never experience.
