Under the guidance of editor-in-chief Lucy Turner, upper school students, along with English faculty Jill Beifuss and Hunt Lyman, read submissions and make selections to create two issues of Calliope magazine each year. A few fourth and fifth graders serve on Calliope’s editorial board by invitation of the editor-in-chief, and sixth through eighth graders serve on a voluntary basis. Editors typically attend two or three after-school meetings at which they read between seventy-five and a hundred fifty anonymous submissions of poetry, short fiction, or personal narrative compositions written by students from junior kindergarten through eighth grade. Through a process that includes private vote-casting and group discussion, Calliope student editors shape each new issue of a magazine that has been in continuous publication at the Hill School since 1982, when it was founded by faculty emeritus Tal Mack and named after the Greek muse of epic poetry.
