Literary Arts Magazine Receives Top Honors

Inkblots "Metamorphosis" Receives NTCE REALM First Class Award
The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has awarded The John Cooper School’s 2021 Inkblots student publication the Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) First Class Award, the highest honor awarded by the Council for overall excellence in art and literary magazines. The NCTE announced its top awards on January 31, 2022, and Cooper was one of only two schools in the state to receive the top honor.

Inkblots is an annual Upper School publication of student literature and art. The student editors and staff members choose an inspiring theme, select student literature and art to be published from all of the student submissions, and conceptualize and design the magazine using professional publishing software.

Abby Prettyman ('21) served as the Student Editor for the 2021 student publication, and English teacher William Garland serves as the Faculty Advisor for the Inkblots program.

Copies of the 2022 Inblots: Metamorphosis magazine can be picked up on campus or viewed online.
