In the annual Georgia Scholastic Press Association (GSPA) high school journalism competition, the Upper School print newspaper, The Knightly News, earned “All Georgia,” GSPA’s top honor for publications. The paper, under the leadership of faculty advisers LEE WILSON and ROBERT KAUFMAN, has previously been recognized with General Excellence Awards in its size category but is a first-time recipient of an All Georgia Award, which measures it against newspaper programs of all sizes across the state. In addition, The Knightly News website won the General Excellence statewide competition for the small schools category, and Knightly News staffers earned individual awards. Three students won All Georgia awards: KATHRYN HOOD ’21 for her layout design of the paper’s 2020 election
spread; DARREN ROSING ’21 for his criti-
cal review of the 2020 Winter Showcase; and senior SLOANE WAGREICH ’21 for her news story COVID-19 Affects College Process. Superior rankings went to MEGAN HARDESTY ’22 for her news story Pace Hosts First Ever TEDx Conference; Hood for her illustration Gifted Kid Burnout Can Plague High Achievers; and Rosing for his feature profile Spotlight on Faculty Passion Project: Let America be America Again.
