About
What is Galaxy?
- Galaxy is Brighton High School's award-winning art
and literary magazine. Galaxy is not only a magazine,
but a place where students can get feedback on their literary
and visual works of art. We promote excellence in art and writing
through constructive criticism and analysis.
We call for submissions from all students. Submissions
are accepted in the Galaxy office (room 177), in Mrs. Burger's room (107)
and through email (see contact).
The editors then choose three pieces to be discussed
anonymously at the weekly meeting. These meetings place every Sunday
from 7-9 pm. Meetings take place September through February
at students' homes. Locations are announced on
The Morning Show, posted on our homepage
and sent in a weekly email to all students
on our mailing list. (Want to be on the mailing list? Just
contact us.)
In March, those who have attended ten or more meetings have
the opportunity to vote on the pieces they would like to see
published in the magazine. The magazine is then laid out using Adobe programs InDesign and Photoshop and
printed for distribution in late May. They are free with a $1 donation and are available to the student body and community.
Galaxy hosts other events throughout the year such
as various contests, poetry cafes and the annual Soireé
in March.
2007 is our 53rd year.
How can I get involved?-
Any student can come to meetings and/or submit his/her work for publication.
If you submit writing, you'll be notified of the date your piece is being read so you can come to the meeting if you choose.
If you would rather be filled in on what people had to say, please indicate so on your submission or talk to an editor and
you will receive notes on your piece.
You must put your name on a submission or we can't accept it, though if you
would like to be published anonymously later, we'll honor
the request. Submissions are always read anonymously at meetings. Both writing
and artwork can be submitted in
the mailbox outside the Galaxy office door (177), homeroom
107, directly to our advisor (Mrs. Burger) or to an editor, and by email.
We're very friendly people here at Galaxy; all are welcome at our weekly meetings.
It doesn't matter if you didn't come to the first one.
Pop in halfway through the year if you like. Each meeting is a new packet, new pieces,
and Galaxy always embraces new members.
