Overland Park, Kan. (Sept. 25, 2014) – Six yearbook sales representatives from Walsworth Yearbooks have obtained the Certified Journalism Educator (CJE) designation from the Journalism Education Association (JEA).
JEA offers both Certified Journalism Educator and Master Journalism Education designations. The purpose of the designations is to promote professionalism in scholastic journalism. These sales representatives took the CJE exam in July.

She was editor of her high school yearbook.
Carolyn Henderson, a former teacher and yearbook adviser, is a sales rep in the greater Charlotte, N.C., area.
