Serving St. Louis journalism teachers and students

We are an association of junior and senior high school journalism advisers who meet together for mutual support and education and to help improve scholastic journalism in the St. Louis area.

We meet monthly at various schools and eateries to share and support each other. We also sponsor a yearly local journalism conference for area students and raise money for scholarships to summer workshops for both students and advisers.

We welcome all publication teachers and offer a mentoring program for new advisers. Please come join us.
