The Princeton High School journalism team placed first in the UIL District 13-AAAAA academic competition and two of the students advanced to regional competition in three writing categories: news, editorial and feature.

The five students won a total of 11 medals.

Their teacher is former journalist Jean Ann Collins, who is also the communications coordinator for the PISD.

“This is a group of extremely talented writers,” Collins said. “They are naturals at the journalism style of writing and storytelling. From their very first practice stories, I knew my job was going to be easy.”
