Produced since the 1960's, Austin's student newspaper The Legend has now moved online.

All grades and experience levels are welcome to produce content for the club. Read The Legend.

Austin Prep's literary magazine, Tolle Lege, takes its name from the Latin phrase meaning “take and read,” drawn from the writings of St. Augustine. The phrase marks a defining moment in Augustine’s conversion, when he was called to open a text, read deeply, and allow words to shape his life. In that same spirit, Tolle Lege invites students to develop their talents in writing and the arts while elevating student voice across our school community.

Each issue features a wide range of student work, including flash fiction, poetry, digital and traditional art, photography, manifestos, short stories, and excerpts from longer works.
