Mission Statement

The Peak is a school newspaper run by a collective group of diverse students at Mountainside High School. We’re committed to featuring pieces that inform, inspire, and include. We seek to write the truth with fact-based reporting to help people better understand the world around them. We commit to unbiased writing.

Our mission is to provide Mountainside High School students with articles that teach something new, represent everybody and celebrate our diverse community.

The Peak was started in 2019 with help from advisor, Ms. Katie Noah. Ms. Noah teaches in the Lang & Lit department and is also Mountainside’s Yearbook Advisor.
