// Acalanes’ student-run newspaper, Blueprint, won first place for Overall Excellence in the county-wide Lesher Journalism Awards contest for the second year in a row in a ceremony on May 15.
Blueprint editors Karen Rosenberg and Lisi Burciaga also received first place for “Best in-depth or Investigative Reporting” for a two-part series on sexual assault.
Recently, Blueprint staffers also received nationwide acknowledgment in the Quill and Scroll contest sponsored by the University of Iowa, 14 awards in the California Press Women’s Association contest, and 6 awards in the Project LPIE contest.
