About Us
Big things are happening this year at GISS, and now you'll be the first to know. We are excited to announce the first edition of The Sting. This is our School Newspaper for the 2025/2026 school year, run by our amazing Media Lab team in S111. The Sting will keep students informed on all recent events: sports, academics, clubs, arts, and more! We hope that through the next few months we can keep students and staff informed, entertained, and inspired.
Our team of writers, editors, and reporters have been working hard to keep you informed on the stories that matter to you. From coverage on sports and events, to opinion pieces and student interviews, the sting will be an inside look into the heartbeat of the school. We aspire to make the Sting a space for diversity and inclusion, ensuring that all voices and opinions can be represented. Creativity will shine, voices will be heard, and important discussions will be started.
This issue is only the beginning, with each issue The Sting will grow, improve, and explore new ideas based off your feedback, that means we want YOU to be a part of it!
