From 2014-2018, the ''Navigator'' was mostly on FirstClass, fondly referred to as FC, the previous social platform for NSA. To my remembrance, everyone had the ''Nav'' as a folder on their desktop (circled below). When new articles came out, a little red flag like the one with an arrow pointing to it below would pop up on the folder, and students would know to go read the latest articles.

Anyone who wanted to write for the ''Nav'' could do so; all they had to do was contact the editor-in-chief to let them know they wished to join. Some – not all – ''Nav'' writers had held a StuCo position at one time or another; this was simply because StuCo members were usually the most active students. Carolyn S., for example, was a ''Nav'' writer and prevalent StuCo Secretary and grade rep, and Emily T. was both a regular ''Nav'' columnist and StuCo Librarian. A few popular columns throughout this period of the ''Nav’s'' history include  “#SpreadTheGolden” (a column about NSA lore) by beloved former StuCo President Morgan R.; “The Spoon” (a general report of iNSAne happenings complete with Spoony, the column’s mascot) by Lydia R.; “Caught in the Glow” (a student spotlight) by Brianna H.; “Cliffhangers” (short stories co-written by students) by Carolyn S. and later taken over by Brianna H.; “A Pinch of Thought” (a hilarious column with various focuses such as Murderous Math, Horrific History, Comical Comedy, and Wacky Holidays) by Hudson and Lydia R.; and “Food and Nutrition” (a column where typically a student was interviewed about a cooking experience and a recipe was featured) by Emily T.

Depending on writer availability, as this could vary significantly, the ''Nav'' was published almost every month of the school year from August to June. Some articles appeared spontaneously, where a writer would write an article once or twice and never pick it back up. Most articles kept face as monthly columns that readers could greatly look forward to viewing.
