The thoughts and views expressed in this publication do not necessarily represent the board, administrators, or faculty and staff of the school. The Totem is created for the primary audience: the student body. Editorial staff make all decisions with guidance from the adviser. Content is not reviewed prior to publication by administration. Any comments, concerns, or letters to the editor may be mailed to the high school or emailed to the adviser with full name and date included.
The print version of The Totem is published seven times a year by the student staff of Shawnee Heights High School, 4201 SE Shawnee Heights Rd., Tecumseh, KS 66542. The online Totem will be updated concurrently with the print version.
