McCluer Takes Home Two Cappies Awards on Sunday

McCluer High School didn’t walk away with a ton of awards, but the school’s drama department didn’t come out empty-handed.

On Sunday night, the school won two awards for Best Creativity and Best Male Dancer for the Awards. 

“Mine,” David Kirkman and Alex Swierk, who accepted the Creativity Award, said in their one-word speech.

The Cappies, short for the Critics and Awards Program, trains high school theater and journalism students as critics. The student critics attend shows at other schools and write theater reviews, which then are published in local news outlets. At the end of the year, the critics vote for awards that are presented at the formal Cappie Awards Gala.

McCluer was nominated for 14 awards in this year’s Cappies. For a full list of winners, check them out .
