 Columbia Scholastic Press Association has named Roars and Whispers a Crown Finalist for the fourth year in a row. The Crown is the highest national award a publication can receive from CSPA and recognizes overall excellence in head-to-head competition across the nation. During Crown consideration, publications are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage and writing. Crown Finalists are actual winners, not nominees. Some will be announced as Gold Crowns; the rest are Silver Crowns. Last year Roars and Whispers was awarded its second Gold Crown. Final results will be announced and presented at the CSPA ceremonies in March 2019.
 National Scholastic Press Association announced that Roars and Whispers is once again a finalist for two Individual Awards in the Design of the Year Category: Magazine Spread Design and Magazine Cover Design. This is the second year in a row that Roars and Whispers has been a finalist in both categories. Winners will be announced at the JEA/NSPA Fall National High School Journalism Convention, Nov. 1-4, 2018 in Chicago.
 Welcome to another great year! Editors were busy over the summer attending the Summer Institute at UNC Chapel Hill. Here is a list of the awards announced at the ceremony. Congrats to all our writers and artists!
