Long Beach High School Literary Magazine Honored by Scholastic

Submitted by Long Beach School District

Long Beach High School’s literary magazine, Fragments, has added to its growing list of achievements with new honors from the National Scholastic Press Association.

The publication earned a first class award with marks of distinction in the categories of writing and editing, layout and concept. Fragments also received a first place award from the American Scholastic Press Association and was recognized by Columbia Scholastic Press earlier this year.

“Of all of the literary arts magazines that I have had the honor to judge the writing in yours was one of the best I have seen.,” The National Scholastic Press Association judge evaluation stated. “It was obvious as I read that your school has some very talented writers and should be very proud of this.”

Students in Rachell Koegel’s talented writers and creative writing classes developed the 2014 award-winning edition of Fragments with artwork and photography contributed by visual arts class members. The magazine’s theme, “the four lobes of the brain,” is conveyed throughout the creatively designed pages.
