Senior Stephanie Lenchard-Warren recently was awarded the prestigious "Achievement Award in Writing" for "superior performance in writing" by the National Council of Teachers of English. A total of 1,649 juniors were nominated by their schools to participate in the 2011 program. The essay that she submitted to the contest, "Eyes Against a Black Canvas" was also published last year in The Best Nonfiction Writing, Hinsdale Central High School. (View this post to learn how to order your own copy.) Stephanie is currently enrolled in the Honors Seminar in Writing.
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 Stephanie and the entire faculty for helping her develop her writing skills.
