El Camino's quarterly news magazine, "The Colt Quarterly", which ran from 2008-2011, garnered awards from Quill and Scroll, the All American Certification from the Journalism Education Association of Northern California, and the 2010 General Excellence Award from the San Francisco Peninsula Press Club. Following the end of the 2010-2011 school year, "The Colt Quarterly" was replaced by "The News Stable" from 2011-2013. Due to a lack of funding and enrollment, the "News Stable" ceased operations following the 2013 school year. There is currently no student periodical at El Camino High School.
