Nine Walsworth schools place in JEA/NSPA Best of Show; Cactus Canyon takes first

Nine Walsworth Yearbooks schools placed in the Best of Show contest at the virtual Spring JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Journalism Convention held this past weekend. The convention was held virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but NSPA still allowed entries into the Best of Show and announced the winners on Saturday.

One Walsworth Yearbooks school placed first in its category. Oro from Cactus Canyon Junior High School in Apache Junction, Arizona, took the top prize in the Junior High/Middle School Yearbook category; while The Round-up from Woodland Junior High finished second.

Those included The Lion from McKinney High School in McKinney, Texas (3rd); Panther from H.B. Plant High School in Tampa, Florida (4th) and Hauberk (5^th) from Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, Kansas.
