Legend named Pacemaker Finalist
February 15, 2017
This is the third time in a row that the Lafayette High School’s yearbook, Legend has been named a Pacemaker finalist by the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA).
Multiple judges with varying backgrounds in journalism education selected finalists out of hundreds of schools across the nation for the final award. All high school entries were separated into five different categories. These categories are based on page count, and all of the middle school yearbooks were put into one category.
Other Missouri schools named finalists include Kirkwood High School, Francis Howell North and Parkway West.
The winners will be announced at the JEA/NSPA Spring National High School Convention, which takes place April 6-9 in Seattle.
