. Hi's Eye is New Jersey's only weekly uncensored student newspaper, and one of the few uncensored school publications in the entire country.
Hi's Eye has an editorial staff of Journalism 3 seniors and is free from administrative prior review. The paper was established in 1935. Its slogan is "If it's Friday, and there's school, there'll be Hi's Eye." The paper publishes 30 issues per year with a monthly Arts and Entertainment issue called Iris. Hi's Eye is unique among many student run newspapers in that it is a weekly, and that it is completely self-funded.

In September 2011, Hi's Eye unveiled a new online version. Hi's Eye aims to use the website to reach readers more often, and with more news that perhaps cannot always fit in the print version.
