"I am amazed by our competitiveness in journalism," said adviser Konnie Krislock who took over the program four years ago. "We are the only Orange County school that produces three publications in what is an afterschool program. Other schools have two or three journalism classes that meet every day. We are lucky to get four or five meetings in a month."
Sage Hill School is the smallest high school in competition at this level, Krislock said, and "it is a credit to our instruction in English and art classes that these students are so well prepared to take on larger program contestants."
