February 20, 2012

State Representative Melissa Leach will present the Central Resume yearbook and The High Times news magazine staffs with resolutions and individual certificates Friday, Feb. 24, 11:45 a.m. The event will take place in conference room 124 at Central High School. Leach is making the presentation to highlight the numerous awards achieved by both groups and to applaud the students for their continued dedication to high academic standards.

Most recently, The High Times is featured in the newest editions of The Best of the High School Press and Communication: Journalism Education Today.

The 17th edition of Best of High School Press, the National Scholastic Press Association's annual publication showcasing the best student work from its member publications, contains more than 400 images from 240 different student publications.  The book, published in hardcover for the first time ever, features winners of NSPA's contests, as well as work selected by judges specifically for Best of the High School Press from more than 6,000 digital files submitted by NSPA's members.

"This 17th edition is stronger than ever," NSPA executive director Logan Aimone writes in the preface to Best of the High School Press.  "Each year, the work submitted raises the bar of excellence for the nation's top student journalism."

The spring edition of Communication:  Journalism Education Today, produced by the Journalism Education Association, features The High Times’ cover and center spread article exploring Facebook and teacher/student relationships entitled, “Reality versus Perception:  Facebook dominates the lives of the millennial generation.” 

Communication: Journalism Education Today promotes lifelong professional learning as the norm and as the expectation for all journalism teachers/advisers, from the newest to the most experienced.
