About the Paper

The term Acta Diurna, “daily acts” or “daily public records,” dates back to Ancient Rome. Information carved in metal or stone, their purpose was to record and share official business and important public affairs. We, the students, want this service to live on in Altamont’s The Acta Diurna. Our goal is for this online publication to be an honest reflection of Altamont students’ work, thought, and lives. It will be whatever the students want it to be, not a program dictated by teachers, but a newspaper for students, by students. The Acta Diurna will strive to explore and illuminate our world and the vital issues that shape it.
