Best of the High School Press 17

The 17th edition of “Best of High School Press,” NSPA’s annual publication showcasing the best student work from its member publications, is on its way to current members in the mail.

More than 400 images from 240 different publications are represented in “Best of the High School Press 17.” Most of the book’s content covers student work from the 2010-11 school year, although some material is as recent as the current school year, such as the Fall 2011 JEA/NSPA convention Best of Show winners.

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 17.” “Each year, the work submitted raises the bar of excellence for the nation’s top student journalism.”

NSPA would like to thank Friesens Yearbooks for sponsoring the printing of “Best of the High School Press 17,” the first such sponsorship since 2000. “We want to thank NSPA, advisers, school administration, and all of the hard working students that make Best of the High School Press possible,” said Paul Friesen, Print Sales Consultant for Friesens. “It is an honor to sponsor this book.”
