Writers Showcase Winners
Congratulations to all our Writers Showcase Winners, who were honored yesterday at a special ceremony held at Belmont University.  Hume-Fogg students took 47 of the 88 prizes available in the High School Writing categories ( in other words, over one-half of all the writing awards given for all entries by all Nashville public high schools).  Hume Fogg  won a total of 14 of the available 22 first place awards, or almost two-thirds of all first place wards given for high school writers.  Hume-Fogg took 5 of the 8 Critical Review awards given, 5 of the 8 Sports Writing awards, 6 of the 8 short stort awards, 6 of the 8 Snapshot writing awards, and 7 of the 8 News Writing awards.

Special thanks go to Mr. Cash and Ms. Handy, our teachers who coordinated our Writers Showcase competition, and Mrs. Oettel, whose journalism students swept all four of the News Writing awards for 11th and 12th graders.
