McLean High Yearbook Staff Named CSPA Crown Award Finalists

Fairfax County Public Schools

December 10, 2020

McLean High’s Caledonia yearbook is one of just 41 high school yearbooks nationwide selected as a Crown Award finalist by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA). Caledonia will receive either a Silver or Gold Crown at the award ceremony at Columbia University in March. Three students serve as editors in chief: Mary Scalia, Lan-Anh Dang-Vu, and Julia Raymond, who had to finish the book during the COVID-19 quarantine. Because of earlier start dates to their school year, many books from around the country--especially those in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and California—had already submitted their final book when quarantine began. McLean is one of just five schools nationwide to have both their yearbook and news publications represented on the Crown list. Contact Meghan Percival at mjpercival@fcps.edu.
