About the journal
High School Journal for Academic Research is a collaborative project between members of various high school political and academic groups, built to let student writers publish their work through a small, student-led nonprofit organization.
We started this because we kept having conversations in classrooms and club meetings that felt sharper than most of what we were assigned to read — arguments students were making to each other that never made it onto a page. This is a place for those arguments. We're just getting started, so if you're reading this early: welcome, and consider submitting.
Focus & scope
We're multidisciplinary rather than tied to one field — political theory and political science, sociology, economics, the natural sciences, and art, culture, and history are where we've started, but the throughline is argument, not subject. If your piece makes a real claim and defends it, it belongs here.
