While we were down in San Antonio for the JEA/NSPA Convention, I was able to catch up with some of the 75 Scholars winners on yearbook staff and ask them what the yearbook means to them and their friends.

Michael Reeves said it so matter of factly that I almost missed it, so I asked him to clarify. Next week, when 24 students from Akins High School in Austin, Texas, travel to San Antonio for JEA/NSPA, it will be the first time the school has sent a group to the National High School Journalism Convention.

“We’ve never been to JEA/NSPA, because we couldn’t afford it. This is going to be the first time,” said Reeves, the newspaper adviser at Akins. “We probably won’t ever be able to go back until it’s in our home state again.”

He is one of a handful of students from his school who will be attending the convention.

Paige Gomez remembers being so into art as far back as first and second grade that she was entering her work into competitions. To her, it was the origins of her love of photography.

“I’d always been into the artsy stuff, but it didn’t take very long for me to find out I wasn’t too gifted in that area,” Gomez said, with a bit of a laugh. “But then I discovered taking pictures, and I learned it was where I was meant to be.”

To improve themselves and their school’s journalism program – those are two of several reasons eight yearbook staff members from Boerne High School in Boerne, Texas, are excited they will be driving the 45 minutes south to San Antonio to attend the JEA/NSPA High School Journalism Convention next month.
