Yearbook and newspaper staffs work year round to create informative and entertaining publications.

When spring time comes, they submit their best work to Interscholastic League Press Conference in attempts to win awards in categories such as layout, designs, headlines, pictures and stories.

“I am so proud of myself for finally achieving something good,” Elizabeth Abrams, editor in chief of the Raider Reader, said. “I am more than excited to have received these awards. I am blessed.”

The staff sends in their best work in February to ILPC and gets results back in April. They compete against schools throughout the state.

“It feels good to be notified because I don’t get noticed a lot,” Yearbook Sports Editor Carley Rogers said.

The Dynasty won awards such as third in General Interest Spread by Cheyenne Archilla, third in academic spread by DJ Brennan and Chase Cairns, and third in sports feature photo by Madison Jennings.

“I hope that the Dynasty staff keeps growing in knowledge and skills,” Rogers said. “I know it will be even better next year.”
