Eddas, the literary/art magazine of WSHS, is named for the collection of old Norse poetry compiled in the 13th century. It is a student-run publication that aims to showcase the creative work of the student body. Eddas also sponsors the monthly coffee houses that were initiated to provide an audience for writers, musicians, visual artists, dancers, and theatre and comedy performers. Over the years, we have come to rely on the coffee house forum as a source of revenue to pay for the magazine's publication. Eddas 2016 Menagerie won Trophy Class from the Virginia High School League, First Place with Special Merits from the American Scholastic Press Association, Gold Medalist from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and Superior ration from the National Council of Teachers of English. In short, Eddas is one of the many jewels of WSHS, which showcases the creativity and talent of our student body.
