Joanna Lau, current junior, has earned a Superior Writing Award in the National Council for Teachers of English’s annual Achievement Awards in Writing for High School Juniors program. The purpose of this competition is to encourage writing among students and provide them with recognition.
Contestants each submitted two writing entries; one piece that focused on this year’s theme of how story narratives can change, and another that the student considers to be his/her best work in any genre. Work was judged by a panel of teachers across the nation. The Superior Writing award is the highest level of recognition in this program, and Lau is among 27 honorees in New York State.
