Hoggard Students Win Contest

Two Hoggard High School teams recently won first and second place in the Authors on America Contest, sponsored by the N.C. Bar Association’s Foundation Law-Related Education Program. A committee of attorneys scored more than 30 submissions based on content accuracy, relevance and creative illustrations. Two Hoggard teams came out on top, led by teacher Cathleen Allman.

First place went to “Elections at the Zoo” by Miguel Chavez and Chris Stojanoff. In second place was “Three Branches of Government” by Lilly Lee and Madeleine Meinhold.

First-place winners receive a bound copy of their book, an 8GB Nook HD Tablet, a school plaque and a certificate.

Second-place winners receive a bound copy of their book, a leather bound journal, a school plaque and certificate.

The winners’ books will be published for use in the Lawyers for Literacy Program. The program, which began as a pilot program in New Hanover County last year, is made up of volunteer judges, attorneys, paralegals and law students. It has since been replicated in several cities statewide, including those in Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte.
