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. | From 2014-2018, the ''Navigator'' was mostly on FirstClass, fondly referred to as FC, the previous social platform for NSA.

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 “# | 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.

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. | Depending on writer availability, as this could vary significantly, the ''Nav'' was published almost every month of the school year from August to June.
