Solstice Wins Coveted Scholastic "Crown Award"

More great news for Hinsdale Central publications!

This spring, the 2013-2014 edition of Solstice, Central’s art and literary magazine, was awarded the prestigious “Crown Award” from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at its 91st annual convention.  Out of over 1,200 entries, Solstice was one of 60 magazines to win the Crown Award.  

The chief editors from last year’s magazine, Gabrielle Lail, Sydney Schwartz, and Emily Ding, as well as the current editors, Nicholas Lucaccioni, Erin Bruns, Connie Sarantos, and Elizaveta Mangutov, are very excited about receiving this honor. 

This year’s Solstice staff was proud to distribute the 2014-2015 magazine last week.  The faculty sponsors for Solstice are HCHS art teacher Pat Potokar and HCHS English teacher Jim DiDomenico.
