Written by Htoo Htoo Lu

The Scrivener, the school literary magazine, won the Superior award in National Council of Teachers of English’s Program to Recognize Excellence in Student Literary Magazines.

Of the 425 schools across the United States who submitted entries, 26 received the highest award, 81 Superior, 207 Excellent and 48 Above Average.

This program is open to all high school and junior high schools throughout the United States, Canada, Virgin Islands and to American schools aboard.

Once submitted for judging by experienced reviewers in Washington, D.C., the magazine is judged on four criteria: content, content variation, graphics and organization.

“We hope younger students will maintain [such accomplishments] in the future,” Scrivener editor senior Cindy Wang said.
