What is the Agathon?

Discover the Story Behind the Publication


I just love the community aspect of Agathon – not just working with the fellow staff and senior editors, but getting to connect with other students through their artistic creations. I think the Agathon is vital to Barstow, and brings our community closer together.

– Helton Walker, Executive Editor, 2024

Agathon 2014

Volume 48 of Barstow’s student art and literature publication. โ€œThe selections in this issue represent your stories – they are your moments and souvenirs. Gifted with the task of stylistically presenting your stories to the student body, we have taken a minimalistic approach to the layout of the magazine, in hopes of allowing your work to captivate the viewers undivided attentionโ€ – Iris Dew & Madeleine Tadros

Agathon 2015

“This year’s 28-page book features student poetry, fiction, and artwork in a format that’s as clean and crisp and the writing it contains. The editors present Barstow’s 49th Agathon, an electronic file that can’t be torn, lost or mis-delivered.”

Agathon 2016, Issue 1

“This year is one for the history books. After our Royals won the World Series, our community has basked in the glow of Kansas Cityโ€™s greatness. Within the walls of Barstow, we too have a very special thing to commemorateโ€”Agathonโ€™s fiftieth issue. Our Agathon staff has decided to celebrate our historic year with the creation of two issues to fully memorialize the literary genius of our three divisions.”
