Three Juniors Win National Writing Award

Three Central juniors, Emily Morse, Madison Wagner, and Dania Noghnogh, were recently awarded the prestigious "Achievement Award in Writing" for "superior performance in writing" by the National Council of Teachers of English.  There are only 155 students chosen from across the United States.



The National Council of Teachers of English Achievement Award in Writing was established in 1957 to encourage high school students in writing and recognize publicly some of the best student writers in the nation. The selection process is intense. The winning writers are selected for independence of thought, fresh insight, concern for expressiveness, keen observation and reflection, and sensitivity to nuances of word meaning.

Congratulations to Emily, Madison, Dania, and the entire English faculty for helping these students develop her writing skills.  The three English teachers who mentored the students, Erin Timmons, Gina Chandler, and Christine Hicks, deserve special commendation.
