The student-produced and operated newspaper, The Mirror, has been announced as the winner of an award for Best of Show at the 2019 Spring National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) convention in Anaheim, CA.

The NSPA is an organization founded for high school publications and journalists with numerous competitions and events occurring throughout the year.

“It was a very exciting time for The Mirror staff. The hard work and effort they put in the newspaper paid off,” says Journalism Advisor Ronald Goins.

Two issues of the newspaper were entered in the category ‘Newspaper Tabloid 16 or fewer pages’, winning first place.

“As far as I know, this is the first time any LAUSD student publication has won this prestigious national recognition. I couldn’t be prouder.”
