About the Tiger Times

Tiger Times is the student operated newspaper for Tabb High School in Yorktown, Virginia. We cover news within our school and the surrounding area. Additionally, we report on Roving Reporter trips. The Roving Reporters are an extension of the Tiger Times newspaper staff. Students in the class volunteer for the reporting trips. These live reporting experiences are meant to simulate the actual job of a reporter, thus giving the students a real-world experience. After the trip, articles are posted on our homepage within the week. Previous Roving Reporter trips include Busch Gardens, Admirals Hockey, the Virginia Living Museum, the Poe Museum, the VIMS, and many more.
