M-A Chronicle is finalist for national journalism award

Emails Menlo-Atherton teacher John McBride: “We are proud to announce that for the second year in a row the M-A Chronicle is a finalist for the National Scholastic Press Association’s coveted Pacemaker Award.

“Editors Celine Chien, Ben Siegal, Tessa Ellingson, Lindsay Park, and Ameya Nori have done an incredible job at leading a team of over 70 journalists, working diligently to celebrate our school and facilitate tough conversations in a responsible way.”

The National Pacemaker Awards, given annually since 1927, recognize excellence in American student journalism. The awards are generally considered to be the highest national honors in their field — and are unofficially known as the “Pulitzer Prizes of student journalism.”
