The FHN Journalism program returned home from a national convention hosted by the Journalism Education and National Scholastic Press Associations that took place in Kansas City, MO from April 4 – 7 with an array of accomplishments.

The North Star and FHNtoday.com were given second place in Best of Show, with the FHNtodayTV video program being awarded eighth in Best of Show. Along with this, 20 students were presented with awards from various categories in the individual Best of Show. In the on-site National Student Media Contests, five students received honorable mentions, six received excellent, and senior McKenna Hudson received a Superior in the Feature Writing category. Upon arrival back to school, the publication staffs celebrated their work with cake and an in-class recap of the awards received.

“I was really shocked when I got an award because I’ve only been in here for a semester so I was not expecting that but it was really cool,” freshman Bri Taliaferro said.
