Publication Awards

In October 2022, student-journalists from SPA’s four Upper School publications attended the annual Minnesota High School Press Association (MHSPA) conference, held at the University of Minnesota. The students, who produce SPA’s award-winning publications including The Rubicon print newspaper, the digital RubicOnline, the Ibid yearbook, and the Iris: Art + Lit literary magazine, attended sessions, met with student journalists from around the state, and were also the recipient of dozens of awards for the 2021-22 series of publications. Awards included Best In Show honors for all four publications: first place for The Rubicon and Iris: Art + Lit, second place for RubicOnline, and third place for Ibid

All four publications were also recipients of Gold Awards from the Journalism Educators of Minnesota, and sixteen Gold Medallions from MHSPA were awarded for individual feature stories, cartoons, graphic designs, and promotional materials.
