University School of NSU’s Upper School Newspaper, The Sun Beat, was recently voted top high school newspaper in Broward County by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel as part of the 2010 High School Journalism Awards Program.

Judges commented, “A creative design style coupled with imaginative and varied story selection earned The Sun Beat the top honor as Best Overall. Students were obviously the focus of the newspaper, as subjects and as audience. But the newspaper staff also took national topics and approached them from the student perspective.”

  • Best Overall: First Place

  • Cartoons/Graphics/Illustrations: First Place
