Jefferson Academy Secondary

Oh...don't mind us, we're just celebrating the JAGWIRE!

Every year, the Colorado Student Media Association (CSMA @colostudentmedia) collects submissions from schools all over Colorado for their "Best of Colorado" award series. The organization accepts submissions for school newspaper and yearbook spreads, and individual accolades. CSMA also awards a variety of scholarships to students who excel in Journalism and Communications.

In their first year of submissions under Mr. Carwin, the newspaper did not disappoint. We cannot wait to see how they do next year!

We are proud to announce the following winners from The JagWire! These students showed excellence in print, online, and broadcast journalism. All awards were in the Print News/Online Class I (Up to 1,000 students) category.
