The Tower Student Newspaper Subscription

Dear Tower Families, Friends, and Readers,

In the nearly hundred years since its founding in 1928, The Tower has chronicled the story of Princeton High School — the big headlines, the quiet uncertainty, the student voices, and all of the moments that continue to make this community a home for us. Every issue is written, edited, and designed by students who care deeply about what happens here, and who believe that our school’s story is best told by the people living it.

We write about what we're proud of, what might be different, and things we're still figuring out. We ask questions, highlight student creativity, and reflect on what life is like at PHS. It's a paper by students — for anyone who wants to understand them better.

By subscribing, you support students who learn to write with a sense of posterity—who speak with the confidence to influence what happens next, and who learn to listen and reflect closely on the world around them. You'll also receive all eight of our monthly print issues delivered straight to your door — a year's worth of our school's story, arriving one chapter at a time.

If that sounds like something you want to be part of, and something that seems right to you, we’d be honored, and would love to help you learn about our school through stories and experiences. You can subscribe by paying online, by check, or in cash — whatever is easiest for you.

With appreciation,
The Editorial Board of The Tower

2025-2026 Subscription: $30/year for 8 monthly issues
