John Glenn High School Students Earn Regional Scholastic Writing Awards
Awards go out each January to young writers from the area. In December students from John Glenn High School submitted their best works to Scholastic in ten different categories for writing, including the senior portfolio. Judges evaluated the work for technical skill, originality, and personal voice/vision. On January 19 John Glenn was notified that nine students received twenty awards out of 1,293 submissions in the region: five Gold Keys, which will now compete in the national contest, eight Silver Keys, and seven Honorable Mention. The students will be recognized at the Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne on February 12. Mikayla Jackson’s Gold Key portfolio is an enormous accomplishment, as it is one of only seven for the entire region, and if she receives a national award, she would be invited to Carnegie Hall in New York City in June. Notifications for national winners will come in March.

Four - Star School
Six of the last seven years!
Indiana Superintendent of Instruction, Glenda Ritz, announced that John Glenn High School was a 4 Star School for 2014-2015. In order to achieve this award, a school must be in the top 25th percentile of schools in three categories (attendance, graduation rate, and ISTEP-ECA scores). There are more than 2,000 public and private schools in Indiana.
About 300 schools received the 4 Star Award throughout the state. Superintendent Ritz congratulated John Glenn by writing, “I am honored to name these schools as our Four Star Schools for this year,” said Ritz. “Winning this award is a testament to the excellent work done by teachers, administrators, students and parents throughout the year. On behalf of the entire Indiana Department of Education I send them my sincere congratulations."
This is the sixth time in seven years that JGHS has won this honor. No other high school in Michiana has done this except for JGHS!!
