ΞΆΓάΘ¦ North Secondary\u2019s 2019-2020 yearbook entitled \u201cCuriosity\u201d captured one of the first-place titles in an annual North American-wide competition, earning the top scoring honour of First Place with Special Merit.<\/p>\n
Recognized by the American Scholastic Association, the yearbook captures the school year both before and after the changes brought by COVID-19, including portraits of students in what they had intended to wear to prom.<\/p>\n
The content was curated and created by a class of Grade 11 and 12 students under the guidance of their teacher, Stella Teng-Davis. She and her students are regularly recognized in the contest for their work \u2013 leading ΞΆΓάΘ¦ North Principal Dave Rawnsley to describe her as \u201csomewhat of a legend in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Teng-Davis:<\/p>\n
Only those school publications with special and outstanding design and content may receive a First Place with Special Merit. Each year, hundreds of schools across North America enter the contest, with their yearbooks scored on a point system.<\/p>\n
\nFor eight out of nine yearbooks we’ve placed either First Place or First Place with Special Merit, and for the past three years it’s been First Place with Special Merit.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
