Junior Wins National Essay Contest

Junior Harrison Bolling has just learned that he won the 2011 Young Native Writers Essay Contest. He was one of only five national winners who will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to visit the National Museum of the American Indian, and other prominent sites. Harrison responded to the prompt: "Describe a crucial issue confronting your tribal community today. Explain how you hope to help your tribal community respond to this challenge and improve its future." For the contest Harrison adapted an essay he wrote for his AP Language and Composition course taught by English Teacher Jared Friebel.
