November 17, 2009 — The Cypress Woods High School yearbook and newspaper staffs left their mark on the Journalism Education Association (JEA) / National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) Fall National High School Journalism Convention, held Nov. 12-15 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.
The Crimson Courier newspaper placed in the top 10 of Best of Show out of more than 100 high school papers entered in the 17-plus pages category.
In individual competition, senior Juliet Albin received a Superior rating in News Writing and senior Katie Haynes received an Honorable Mention in Feature Writing.
“I am very proud of these students and the hard work they have put into our publications,” said Abigail Paysse, Cypress Woods journalism adviser. “It was said that placing in the top 10 in Best of Show is a feat of great merit for a fledgling staff only two years into production.”
