Student Activities

Student Newspaper, Television, and Yearbook

Student newspaper The Dig is published on a monthly basis with a mission "to inspire interest and involvement from the student body within our school, while displaying the achievements, power, knowledge and talents Miners bring to the community."[5]

ED HewS is a student-produced weekly news program. This program airs weekly in student homeroom classes and is archived on the OnAirEdHews YouTube channel.

El Diamante publishes their annual yearbook, The Facet, which is released at the end of the traditional school year.

ASB (Associated Student Body)

El Diamante's ASB class, which like the other four Visalia high schools' ASB classes, prepare for events during the school year, like Battle for the Saddle against Golden West, and rallies.

gollark: Well, I might look at joining matrix or whatever then. One of the reasons I don't have any fediverse/whatever stuff set up is that I currently only have access to a free domain which might randomly decide to to unexist, and I don't want that to get stuck in remote config files everywhere.
gollark: I'd imagine it mostly attracts... open-source-stuff people, and also has smallish groups.
