COLBY -- Hornet Highlights, the Colby High School newspaper, received second
place for general excellence at the Thursday Wisconsin Chippewa Valley School
Press Association fall conference at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
The paper was judged on content and current coverage, writing and editing,
editorial leadership, make-up and other general considerations. It was entered
in the schools more than 500 enrollment category.
