May 2, 2014

bannerAt the Time Warner Cable Student Athletes of the Year awards last night at the Bob Bullock Museum,  25 area athletes were honored for their combined academic and athletic achievements in 2013-2014.  Of those 25, two were from Westwood – swimmer Madison Mischnick and football player Ray Lu.  At the end of the evening, it was announced that an online vote would determine the “favorite” student athlete of the year.  That student will win a $1000 scholarship and the school will be awarded $5000. Voting begins today and runs through May 11.  

The Horizon encourages you to go to this link and vote for Ray or Madison.

Ms. Cat here. I've taught journalism and advised the Westwood Student Press since 2013. Before that, I taught graphic design and advised yearbook staffs in Texas and California for 20 years. My undergrad degree is in Plan II Liberal Arts from the University of Texas at Austin, and I have a Master's of Education in Reading. I was an ASNE (American Society of News Editors) Reynolds High School Journalism Fellow in 2013. I earned my CJE (national certification as a journalism educator) in 2016. I was proud to be honored with the Edith Fox King award for journalism teachers in 2018. I love my job and it makes me especially happy when the newsroom is hopping and all the student journalists are busy following up on stories. If you are looking for my teacher website, click here.
