MISSION STATEMENT
The Purple Onion is written, edited, and published by the Publications staff at Central DeWitt High School. The opinions expressed on the website do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the adviser, school administrators, or the district. The Purple Onion will not publish material we believe to be libelous or inappropriate for a school publication. Our mission is to provide the Central DeWitt student body with a quality news site, reach as many readers as possible, give the Sabers a voice, and learn about the practice of responsible journalism.
