High school journalism contest results announced

Thursday I helped judge a regional Kansas Scholastic Press Association contest held at Wichita State University in Wichita.

I had a lot of fun helping judge. I was part of a three-person crew judging photo cutlines.

I am proud to announce that my former high school, Canton-Galva High School, did rather well.

As promised, I am going to share the results from the competition here. As well as links to the results from the other regionals held Thursday.

Any student who place or received an honorable mention will get to compete in the state contest May 1 in Lawrence.

So here are the results:
