KEARNS, Utah (AP)-Kearns didn’t have a community newspaper, so a group of Kearns High School students took the initative to start one.

Since the start of the school year, the journalists who create The Cougar Claw, Kearns High School’s monthly paper, have worked to make sure their coverage spans issues that affect both their classmates and their neighbors in the metro township of about 35,000 people.
