Feature stories are carefully crafted, well researched “longform” articles that can be read at any time of year and they always feel relevant. Features are the mainstay of good publications; they are the reasons readers come back.

Some of The Gauntlet’s Features this year were selected for Best of SNO (School Newspapers Online), the largest online high school newspaper platform. These SSES-based articles reached a national audience.

The editorial staff took a look back and compiled this highlight reel of the best feature pieces of 2018.  Enjoy!
