Stars Who Aren't Athletes

Dear Editor,

Recognizing stars who aren't athelets is a thing a lot of people fail to do. Thank you.

However, as the Mountain Home News Editor-in-Cheif the journalism/yearbook programs should be of particular interest to you. Students from Ms. Sue Martin's program have/will go on to do just as great of things as the speech and debate students will. The MHHS journalism/yearbook program took first place for the sixth year in a row this year at the IJAA State competition. For over 20 years, Ms. Martin has been producing talented teachers, writers, and photographers who all have been on the MHHS journalism/yearbook staff.

The journalism program as you, the editor, would know puts in hours upon hours (I would claim more than any other extra curricular activity puts in) of out of class time to produce the quality newspaper and yearbook students bring home.

MHHS Tiger Tribune reporters also often write stories for the Mountain Home News regarding school events. Most recently, a story about Mr. MHHS featured in the Mountain Home News was written by Dani Lord, Editorial Editor for the Tiger Tribune.

I realize you cannot name every extra-curricular program the high school offers, but the yearbook/newpaper program works with Mountain Home News often and doesn't seem to get as much publicity and recognition from the MHN as I believe they should.

p.s. The MHHS Speech and Debate team thanks you for all of the recognition you give them.
