Recently, Industrial teacher Lisa Bullock announced two of her students, graduate Kaylee Cooper and senior Whitney Kurtz, were selected to the All-State Journalism Staff.
The English IV, AP English, Literature and UIL journalism instructor nominated the duo due to the large number of points they accumulated over the last school year while competing in practice and final meets.
Cooper and Kurtz were the 2024-25 District Champions, Regional Champions and then placed third in the State competition. The categories included news writing, feature writing, editorial writing, copy editing and headline writing. Each student medaled in a category; Cooper snatched a silver in headline writing, while Kurtz bronzed in feature writing.
