The yearbook staff traveled to the campus of SDSU in Brookings today to attend the South Dakota High School Press Convention! They spent the day listening to journalists talk about their experiences working in the field and attending workshops related to design trends, caption writing, and photography. The afternoon consisted of an awards ceremony for the SDHSAA Yearbook Contest, as well as the Journalistic Photography Contest, with which came some door prizes. Senior Libby W. name was drawn during door prizes and she came home with a laptop! The 2023-2024 yearbook received an Excellent rating in the Yearbook Contest. Finally, senior Samantha M. earned herself the TOP scoring spot in the entire Journalistic Photography Contest for her photo "Crazy About Colors". This means her photo had the highest score of any school that submitted entries (class B, A, and AA) all across South Dakota!
