Creative Writing and Signatures Florence High School’s Creative Writing Program teaches students to write for publication. Students write poems, short stories, essays, and one-act plays which are entered into local, state, and national writing competitions. Creative Writing students also write, edit, design, and publish Signatures, Florence High School’s award-winning literary-arts magazine. Creative Writing students also create artwork, photography, music, and computer graphics for use in the literary-arts magazine. Students have multiple opportunities to write for scholarships and prize money. Field trips, workshops, guest speakers, and writing festivals are an important part of the class. Adviser is Darlene Freemon. Signatures Literary Arts Magazine challenges the student population to express themselves through writing and art. Creative Writing students take an active role in the publication of our entirely student-edited, student-designed, and student-run magazine. We endeavor to present a cross section of the student body in an effort to represent our school’s limitless creative talents. With this magazine, we hope to establish a tradition of excellence, promote student expression, and introduce to the world a new generation of great, published writers and artists.
Students who write for
Signatures also write for local, state, national, and even
international contests.
Each year students participate in international, national, state,
and local contests. Awards for these contests include cash prizes,
scholarships, publication in state and national magazines, and even
live performances of plays written by students. Creative Writing has
a history of students earning scholarship money through portfolios
developed through their years writing for
Signatures.
