Mission Statement: The iliad Literary-Art Magazine is a student-produced Clarke Central High School literary-art magazine. The iliad serves as a conduit of expression for creativity and passion to the CCHS student body, iliad staff and rising ninth graders from feeder schools. Each issue is an open public forum for student expression under the guidance of a faculty adviser.

Vision Statement: The iliad literary-art magazine seeks to be an inclusive platform for creative voices that represent the diversity of the Clarke Central High School student body. Programmatically, the iliad strives to provide a venue to develop student leaders and communicators.

All contributors may submit as many pieces as they would like from the start of the academic year until February. Submissions are reviewed by members of the Editorial Board. Once the submission period is officially closed, all artists will receive an email on the status of their submission.

The iliad, as a student publication under the domain of the Clarke County School District, must be mindful when choosing submissions of the appropriateness of its content. Inappropriate content may be edited by the creator to maintain a “TV-14” censorship, but the integrity of the work and of the magazine is always preserved.

Additionally, if there are significant gramtical or sturctural issues with a piece of writing, then the piece may only be edited with permission from the author and in collaboration with them.

The cover of the 48th edition of the iliad Literary-Art Magazine, “Flourish,” features a gouache painting by Bird Smith titled, “Wellspring.” The “Revive,” “Grow,” and “Thrive” subsection dividers are a series of gouache paintings by Bird Smith titled “Collected,” “Daydreamer,” and “Verdant,” respectively.
