Two HC finalists in the 2011 Normal Mailer Writing Award

Hinsdale Central Alum Maz King (2011) and Senior Stephanie Lenchard-Warren have earned recognition as national finalists in the 2011 Norman Mailer High School Writing Award for Creative Nonfiction competition.

Evaluation criteria for this elite award reflected qualities of writing Norman Mailer pursued across a lifetime: originality; insight; clear voice and style; artful arrangement of elements and materials; and overall aesthetic, emotional, or intellectual effect.

The essays of Maz and Stephanie were among the top five entries received from high school writers across the country. Congratulations to both of them!
