Mr. Dupratt and the 1988-1989 Ubiquity staff

The school newspaper, "Ubiquity showed a brand new look for Quartz Hill's 25th anniversary. The paper was longer, had more articles, added color, and used a different style paper. The Ubiquity staff produced a record 10 issues. The front page featured a new blue Ubiquity desgin with the 25th anniversary logo printed on each side of the banner." Mr. Dupratt continued as advisor of Ubiquity and the editor this year was Tom Stevens.
