About Visions Literary & Arts Magazine

Visions is a literary and arts magazine for the CCHS community that brings artistic thought and possibilities to life for the larger school community. One large issue or two smaller issues are published each year. Included are poems, essays, short stories, photography and artwork that are submitted by students and faculty members. The editorial staff meets to edit submissions, coordinate the layout of each issue, and to recruit and discover creativity in the school. Visions also sponsors coffeehouses and open mic nights that empower students and faculty to read and perform their work for their peers. Musicians, writers, supportive fans, and coffee lovers are encouraged to attend. Open to all students to participate in one or both.

Thank you to all of the performers and to the organizers who made it possible for students and staff to come together in Baroni Hall and take the stage!
