About

The Aerial, previously regarded as “Atherton Aerial,” is a student news publication for Atherton High School. 

            Starting in 1924 with the creation of New Atherton, the Aerial was created as a Bi-monthy Broadcasting of J.M. Atherton High School and functioned as a physical school newspaper for students. However, with the wave of the 2024-2025 school year, 100 years later, the strictly physical news source has gone digital, with one large physical publication at the end of the school year.
