eSomethin.com is your digital newspaper
eSomethin.com is Perrysburg High School’s digital student newspaper with high hopes for the future, but also not forgetting its roots — The Somethin’, that venerable broadsheet newspaper published by Perrysburg High students since 1922.
To meet the needs of readers in a digital age, The Somethin’ shifted to digital publication in May, 2012.
The birth of eSomethin.com is relevant to students who now get news on laptops and cell phones.
Sponsored by The Toledo Blade, eSomethin.com is being produced under the guidance of Perrysburg High School English teacher Tim Kitson.
