On April 27, The Aragon Outlook was awarded the “Best in Show” award for Newspaper Broadsheet (17 or more pages) at the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention. The award was given to the paper’s staff on behalf of the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) for the April edition of the Outlook.
The convention was held in the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. It was the Outlook staff’s first year attending the national convention, which is held twice a year in different U.S. cities.
On May 15, the Outlook was also recognized by the Peninsula Press Club (PPC). The Outlook won first place for “Overall Excellence” and third place for “Layout and Design” at the PPC’s annual awards ceremony for local high school papers. At the event, held in the San Mateo County History museum, multiple Outlook editors and staffers also accepted individual awards. Out of over 350 entries from ten different schools, the Outlook accepted fourteen awards and one honorable mention.
The Aragon Outlook is grateful to both the NSPA and the PPC for recognizing its achievements.
