The Muse is an award-winning student-run publication that compiles student art and writing into an annual magazine. Founded in 2002, this class was founded on the principles of being able to escape the structure of school and create an environment where it is possible to explore the arts and find your voice. Exploring a variety of works, we focus on combining creative writing and the arts into our publications. We showcase the work of Northview's talented artists, writers, composers, and many more in celebration of their creativity.
