The Excalibur yearbook placed 3^th in their category, FHNtodayTV placed third in Broadcast, FHNtoday.com placed 4^th in their category and the North Star brought home the Best of Show trophy for the top spot in the Newsmagazine category. Senior Kaitlyn Williams was honored as one of four finalists in the “J” scholarship competition. Finally, a few students were honored in the on-site write-off competitions. Emily Forst earned an Honorable Mention in Computer Design: Headline, Brianna Schroer earned an Excellent in YB Layout: Inside Pages, and Kaitlyn Williams earned an Excellent in Yearbook Sports Photography. Taking top honors in the writeoff competitions in their respective categories were Kelsey Bell who earned a Superior in Computer Design: Infographis and Nick Bussell who earned a Superior in Newsmagazine: Layout. 4/18 Manfull
