Advertising & Silvertip Patron Program

Thank you for your interest in becoming a partner with Mission Hills High School’s journalism program! We offer a couple different ways for you to support our work here as student journalists in San Marcos, while promoting your own cause or business. You can either purchase an ad space here on our website, collaborate to have an ad air on our Monday Broadcast show ONE TV, or you can make a tax-deductible donation to our program as a ONE Mission Hills Patron.

Why Advertise With Us?

• We can’t run paper editions without your help
• Advertising in high school media outlets connects advertisers with the coveted and hard to reach a teen audience in an uncluttered environment
• Teen spending power only increases every year– we are your consumer
• We use social media to not only spread the news on campus, but to promote our product and our supporters like you
• Our online newspaper readership is over 3000 students, teachers, parents, and community members
• Our broadcast audience is every classroom on campus, every Monday morning
• We are a 504c3 program, so any contribution is helpful for tax time
• And best of all, your contributions support our program, and empower students to remain connected to their campus and their community through the journalism program at MHHS

What Kinds of Ads Can We Sell?

• Ads that promote a local business (small, large, or on the side)
• Ads that include coupons (print)
• Ads that promote clubs and services on campus (think TSMP, the Writing Den, Clubs, ASB, etc.)
• Ads for local events (check the city’s website for their calendar and contact)
