Publications Win National Awards
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) honored St. Mark’s three major Upper School publications and the Middle School literary magazine with its highest awards. At the CSPA’s annual convention at Columbia University, The ReMarker student newspaper, The Marque literary magazine, and The Mini-Marque Middle School magazine were awarded Gold Crowns, the organization’s highest honor. This was The ReMarker’s fourteenth consecutive Gold Crown, extending the newspaper’s longest successive winning streak by a secondary school in the CSPA's 91-year history. This year also marks the sixth consecutive Gold Crown for The Marque. The Marksmen yearbook received a Silver Crown, marking its ninth consecutive year to earn a Crown award.
The awards were announced at the CSPA’s annual convention in New York, but due to a severe blizzard, St. Mark’s was unable to attend. Thankfully, former ReMarker senior content editor Avery Powell ’16 was in New York for spring break and accepted the Crowns on their behalf.
The Mini-Marque literary magazine won its first ever Gold Crown Award and was one of only two middle school magazines nationwide to receive this honor from more than 1,000 entries.
"It’s wonderful to be recognized because we put in a lot of work," said Mini-Marque faculty sponsor Meagan Frazier. "The staff works so hard to hone their publishing and design craft. It’s awe-inspiring for me to be a part of their team."
