The Bengal’s Purr Mission Statement

The Bengal’s Purr is Lewiston High School’s student-run newspaper. The publication has been informing students, parents and the community since 1927.

The Purr is primarily intended for LHS students. Our publication gives them periodic news updates on school and local events, activities and competitions while featuring students, faculty and community members with unique qualities or experiences. The Purr also provides entertainment reviews and opinion articles or editorials, which solely reflect the opinions of the student writers.

The staff and adviser of The Bengal’s Purr strive to produce a publication that reflects the perspectives, interests and abilities of current students at Lewiston High School. We are guided by the Code of Ethics for the Society of Professional Journalists, which advises that we seek the truth and report it, minimize harm, act independently, and to be accountable and transparent.

The Purr welcomes and publishes letters to the editor from LHS and the surrounding community. Any letters that are 250 words or longer are subject to editing for length. Letters can be sent to [email protected] or to The Bengal’s Purr, Lewiston High School, 3201 Cecil Andrus Way, Lewiston, Idaho, 83501.
