The Branch

The Branch is The Redwood Gigantea’s dedicated section for explanatory journalism, where we break down complex topics, provide background context, and connect the dots between news and its deeper meaning. Instead of just reporting what happens, we answer the bigger questions: Why does it matter? How does it work? What does it mean for students?

Covering everything from school policies and traditions to national trends affecting young people, The Branch helps readers understand the “why” behind the news. Expect engaging, well-researched stories that clarify issues, encourage critical thinking, and make information more accessible.
