About Us

The Hoofprint is the official student-run news organization from Buffalo High School in Buffalo, Minnesota.

Our mission is to be authoritative, aggressive, essential, caring, and creative as a leading source of news and information for the students and staff of Buffalo High School. The Hoofprint includes a variety of platforms, including students running daily games, a podcast, a print publication and archive, a news website, and several social media accounts dedicated to telling original, independent stories.

The Hoofprint strives to be a forum where students and staff can exchange ideas and participate in a continuing discussion.

The staff of The Hoofprint and hoofprint.net is proud to say that both the newsmagazine and the website are entirely student-run. This means that all of the content is produced by students, and that all of the design is created by students, unlike many other school newspaper websites that purchase their design and hosting from elsewhere. Additionally, the majority of the content is created as a part of an extracurricular experience, meaning that most of the content you see and read was created outside of class and not done for a grade. Journalism students occasionally contribute content to the site.

Our writers and editors are dedicated to presenting stories for and about the staff and students of Buffalo High School along with covering the issues that affect them. All of the views expressed on this site are those of the authors and do not represent the opinions of anyone else, including the staff and administration of Buffalo High School.

The Hoofprint cannot be responsible for the content of external sites, including those that are linked to in articles, and for the content of comments.
