Montverde.org has learned that MVA was recently awarded the 2015 American Scholastic Press Association First Place High School Magazine for The Tower magazine! Montverde Academy won not just first place, but First Place with Special Merit and Outstanding Theme (a first)! The committee at ASPA had many great things to mention about The Tower including “…your magazine shows the superior efforts of talented and creative writers, artists, photographers, layout/graphic designers, staff members and advisor.”
A magazine judge also stated,“…The Tower is an amazing publication! Not only have you mastered the basic elements of a good magazine, but you have also published excellent works from your school population. The Tower is a model for those up-and-coming magazines and an inspiration for those magazines that haven’t quite aced the necessary skills.”
Mrs. Ginny Holm, MVA Director of Publications and Marketing, is also the art director for The Tower. She was very proud of the many contributors to The Tower and praised the faculty and staff writers who contributed to this memorable award-winning issue.
