A.C. Flora High School wins national literary award

For the second, consecutive year, A.C. Flora High School’s literary magazine "Awakening" has won first place in the nation from the American Scholastic Press Association.

The literary magazine was in competition with all other high schools in America with the same number of students (1001-1700). Magazines are judged on content, organization, design, presentation, and creativity. Flora had a perfect score in content (the largest point value - 400), and was almost perfect in all the other categories.

This year's magazine, called "Awakening to Life," was 56 pages and contained 115 pieces of creative writing and over 60 pieces of art.
