Local Senior Awarded National Scholastic Gold Medal

Congratulations to NHS senior Maggie Hoppel on being named a national Scholastic gold medalist in writing for her piece “That Should Have Been the End of It”. Hoppel beat out over 300,000 students to be one of only eight gold medalists in the United States and will be honored with a reception at Carnegie Hall and a $12,500 scholarship. Her writing will also appear in a national anthology this summer. She is a member of the NHS newspaper Mill Stream staff and plans to attend college as a creative writing major. Hoppel was also honored with a silver medal for another writing submission. Congratulations also to NHS students Addison Cooley, Krista Horbett, Levi Miller and Kaelyn Hart, who brought home state Scholastic writing honors.
