About our organization

The Spartan Shield is the online news site for Pleasant Valley High School in Bettendorf, Iowa. It is run by the honors journalism students of PV. Our goal is to provide students, parents, staff, and the community of Pleasant Valley with unique angles of the latest news and happenings at our high school, in the area, and around the world.

This 2024-2025 school year, our Co-Editor-in-Chiefs are seniors Laura Chen and Prerna Vanga, who can be reached at [email protected]. Chen and Vanga have a passion for writing and journalism integrity. They are both highly involved students at Pleasant Valley and are eager to continue the tradition of excellent leadership and high integrity with the Spartan Shield.
