On April 27 eleven qualifiers traveled to Norfolk to compete in the NSAA state tournament for journalism.  The qualifiers were Harrison Hohman, Young Joon Park, Oliver Jarosik, Adam Terasinski, Thomas D’Aquila, Leo McGrath, Sam Van Haute, Jack Morrissey, Jackson Thompson and Homer Xu.  These students then were given prompts in various categories of writing and design for both newspaper and yearbook categories.  The team, competing in a much more competitive class B, took 4th place out of 26 teams.  We also had several individuals who did very well.
