Congratulations to Sarah Adler '14, who was nominated by Upper School English teacher Amanda Mann and has been selected as a winner in the 2013 National Council of Teachers of English Achievement Awards in Writing. 

A total of 753 high school juniors were nominated by their schools to participate in the 2013 program, and 155 across the U.S., Canada, and American schools abroad were chosen as outstanding writers. Only eight of those students are Ohioans.

All compositions were evaluated by national judges on content, purpose, audience, tone, word choice, organization, development and style. Judges also looked for writing that demonstrated effective and imaginative use of language to inform and move an audience.
