The Talon: The Student News Site of Amherst High School

Created in December 2021, The Talon is the modern relaunch of Amherst High School's traditional Talon student newspaper, which appeared in the Tomorrow River Times for many years.

Students create content and take photos throughout the year, uploading their pieces to http://amhersttalon.org. Our students work on The Talon during study hall or after school, so it's truly a labor of love.

Check us out! And if you're interested in joining, just let us know.

The Falcon Yearbook

2025 Falcon

Plans are already underway for the 2025 Falcon Yearbook.

Our three editors for 2025 will be (from left) Isabelle Dambroski, Katie Lechton, and Faith Sopa. These students attended a planning workshop in Wisconsin Rapids with Jostens in April 2024 to begin working on ideas for next year's book. Stay tuned for more details!

2024 Falcon

The 2024 Falcon Yearbook is in the books...or more accurately, the book is here!

Our three editors (below from left, Paige Bird, Hailey Portzen, Samantha Spanske) attended a seminar with Jostens in May 2023 with several other area schools to begin choosing a theme and start the cover design process. Throughout the year, our editors led all parts of production to produce one of the best (and most colorful!) Yearbooks that AHS has seen in some time.

Congratulations to all of our 2023-24 AHS Yearbook staff members on a job well done!

Seniors: Paige Bird, Ilyana Grawvunder, Sydnee Neuman, Hailey Portzen, Carrie Snider, Samantha Spanske, and Siri Anderson.

Juniors: Isabelle Dambroski, Katie Lechton, Ada Stevens, and Evan Voss.

Sophomores: Ava Hoerter, Tess Jeske, Addison Lafler, and Faith Sopa.

2023 Falcon

The students at AHS who choose to work on The Falcon, the yearbook for Amherst High School, give up their study hall time to put together an 84-page chronicle of the school year.

If you are interested in joining Yearbook (which is a class, not a club, so you do earn credit and a grade), talk to one of our editors, Mrs. Swanson, or visit Merry in the HS Office.
