Our staff is awesome!

In early 2015, five Egerian staff members and contributors received recognition in the prestigious Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, including two national awards and a whopping 29 regional awards!

Editor-in-Chief Abbie Minard recently returned from a trip to New York City for the National Ceremony at Carnegie Hall, where she received a gold medal for short story and a silver medal for poetry.

In the regional awards, the Egerian dominated, earning successes in both art and writing categories.
