Johnson High School
Initially founded in 2017, Excalibur is a club at Johnson High School led by Mrs. DeCocco that strives to represent its creative student body through its official literary magazine. Named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, Excalibur explores student creativity through its publication of a variety of art, ranging from poems to ink drawings.
Through Excalibur, we hope to gather students' artwork in order to uplift and showcase everyone's talents outside of the classroom. To celebrate Johnson High School's 50th Anniversary, Excalibur was split into three interconnecting themes as followed: "Reflection, Creation, Connection."

DANCING IN THE RAIN
By: Atticus Rose
By: Atticus Rose
Here we are
Cold rain coming down
But with hands intertwined
Even the coldest winds or harshest rain
Cannot dampen our fire
As we are dancing in the rain
Eyes to the sky
Sight on each other
Circling no different than
Yin
And Yang
A mix of fire and water
Warmth and cool
A juxtaposition of life
Two hearts thinking in harmony
Two Brains beating in sync
2 pairs of feet paving a story
And two fools Dancing in the rain
Cold rain coming down
But with hands intertwined
Even the coldest winds or harshest rain
Cannot dampen our fire
As we are dancing in the rain
Eyes to the sky
Sight on each other
Circling no different than
Yin
And Yang
A mix of fire and water
Warmth and cool
A juxtaposition of life
Two hearts thinking in harmony
Two Brains beating in sync
2 pairs of feet paving a story
And two fools Dancing in the rain
