About
The Downey Legend is the award-winning, student-run newspaper of Downey High School. From on-campus events to op-ed pieces, we work to cover all facets of Downey High and its community. In recent years, the Legend has expanded from only written and photographed work to podcast, video, and illustrated comics. Additionally, our staff consists of business and social media teams to further publicize our publication.
The Legend has been in existence since 2009, originally the newspaper began as small issues every month. However, now as the Legend enters its eleventh year, it continues to grow and now publishes every two weeks! With each new issue, the newspaper continues to work towards keeping a school of over 4000 students updated and connected.
