Since ChatGPT’s launch in 2022, AI’s alarmingly fast growth has been useful in numerous fields of occupation, such as retail and cybersecurity. Despite its increased relevance, there is a lack of student exposure to AI in schools to prevent cheating and academic dishonesty.

Major headlines tend to shift more towards his shakeup of the bureaucracy with “shutting down” the DOE, ending USAID, or the havoc wreaked with the erroneous deportations.

However, not as much light has been shed on Trump’s foreign policy which is in response to an international system that is shifting before us.

The emergence of AI chatbots, notably Chat GPT, has brought forth various debates on the legitimacy of this tool in the space of academia.

First launched in late 2022, Chat GPT has a generally notorious reputation in academic spaces as it has only made cheating much more accessible and easier. Don’t get it twisted, the concerns AI presents to students are very real and valid.

Language Clubs Come Back

Sam Waters, Staff Reporter

October 2, 2025

LCPS students have been back to school for over one month now, and with that, clubs have returned for the 2025-2026 school year. With this, the language clubs are back and ready for students to attend.

Here at Valley, there are language clubs for German, French, Spanish and American Sign Language. All of these clubs meet during Viking Time, once every three Fridays on B club rotation days. The next B club rotation is scheduled for Oct. 17.

If you are enrolled in a language course that you enjoy, or have any interest in learning a new language, these clubs are available resources for you to partake in when there are meetings.
