The Grain is the official student publication of San Jose City National High School. It started with hand-drawn copies on short bond paper, then later on turned into printed materials like broadsheets and magazines. In 2015, The Grain established its first online platform (thegrainonline.wordpress.com) under the leadership of Dr. Vilma C. The publication also launched its official page (w
ww.facebook.com/thegrainonline) the same year, where it posted works from its first website as well as other updates. The online publication went into a hiatus in the following years as the editorial staff focused on broadsheet productions for regional contests. The region even awarded its 2017 issue 6th place on the news page, and it has become one of the official entries for group categories in the National Press Con. During the pandemic, The Grain’s official page was revived, and a new online publication was born. The publication also blazed the trail for the first journalism podcast in the Division of San Jose City and published its e-magazine in 2021. The said e-magazine was uploaded to ISSUU to reach a wider audience. For this year, The Grain powered up its website and online platforms by including Quick Response (QR) code in their publication materials. This is to make information easily accessible to SJCNHS students and the members of the community.
