I went into this year thinking 2024 would be a bit of a rebuilding year for our journalism program. We graduated some experienced, talented journalists the year before, and we were going to have a number of new faces on staff. And while we have certainly had to learn and grow a great deal, these kids once again rocked the KSPA State Journalism Contest.

Producing some incredible entries this year, Chanute High School earned another top-two finish. We had four individual state champions, four state runner-ups, three third-place finishes, and another 13 state placers (24 state placers overall). All told, we fell six points short of the state title, but for a group that included 13 first-time state qualifiers I’m left with nothing but pride for what they accomplished this year and excitement for next year.
