Healthy Courier & Student Podcasts

Catholic Partnership Schools introduces middle school students to career pathways through structured exploration, speaker series, and diverse extracurriculars. One standout program is journalism, launched in 2021-2022 in partnership with Healthy NewsWorks. This collaboration led to the Healthy Courier, a student-produced newsletter integrated into the English Language Arts curriculum. The publication, released quarterly, empowers students to become researchers, writers, and critical thinkers while advancing health literacy.

 

To expand opportunities, CPS has integrated the Healthy Courier into its after-school program, allowing more students to engage in research, interviews, content creation, and hands-on experience with layout and printing. Building on this success, the journalism program has evolved to include video journalism and podcasts, equipping students with modern media skills and real-world storytelling experience.
