2010 Crag Wins Awards

Last year's book "Total Impact" was awarded a Trophy Class rating (which is the equivalent of a State Championship) for the 6th year in a row!

We were also awarded the Charles Savage Journalism Award for Continued Excellence. In order to receive this award, a school has to earn 5 Trophy class ratings in 7 years. We earned this award last year with our 5th Trophy, but they always present it the following year.

Individually, Kelsey Smith and Amanda Davis received 3rd place on their Golf page and Logan Richmond received Honorable Mention on her Foreign Language club page.

 

National Scholastic Press Association has named our 2010 book "Total Impact" an All-American book with 4 marks of Distinction. This is the highest honor the evaluator awards.  This is the fifth consecutive year that the TA yearbook has won this award.
