Horseshoe and Mountain Echo students attended the regional convention at the PSU Altoona Campus. This week the winning students were notified they advanced to States on April 1.
On Tuesday, April 1, 2025, members of the Mountain Echo and Horseshoe Yearbook staffs will be traveling to Penn State University in State College for the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association (PSPA) State write-off competition and workshop.
Ten students qualified for the State competition by participating in the Regional competition on Friday, Oct. 25.
“Since I made it [to States] last year, I’m confident that I can do well this year—probably even better than last year,” sophomore Mountain Echo Associate Editor Emmalee Martyak said. “I hope that, regardless of the outcome, I have a good time.”
