Let's Talk About the N-Word

The Grant Magazine issue for March 2016 was titled Let's Talk About the N-Word, and dealt with race and the N-Word in Grant High School. The issue was inspired by the increasing use of racial slurs by students at Grant High School. It describes the history of the N-Word, and its culture today. The issue features interviews with Andrew Young; Paul Coakley, who was a principal of Roosevelt High School, and a number of African Americans in the Grant community. [5]

The N-Word issue inspired a school-wide discussion about race at Grant High School. [13]

The Sexual Assault Issue

The December 2018 issue of Grant Magazine was a themed issue dedicated to the topic of sexual assault in the Grant High School community and the world. The issue was inspired by the posting of a list in the women's restroom at Grant High School in which an anonymous student named several students as alleged sexual predators. [14] [15] [16]

The Sexual Assault Issue sparked conversation in the Grant community and encouraged discussion within the Grant High School administration to better address the issue of sexual assault.
