Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Harrisburg High School Entry Title: Frustrated Students Sometimes ask: Maybe we should just bring back paper? Entry Credit: Kinzley Stewart Judge Comment: Well-presented argument presenting problems and potential solutions; writing style is solid and conversational. Organizing into shorter paragraphs would help, at least to create more opportunities for transitions to drive the piece forward.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Harrisburg High School Entry Title: Superintendant or Superwoman?
