Good Life Award: Current Winners

Congratulations to the Winners, Runners-up, Honorable Mentions and all the students who entered the GLA writing contest this year. Enjoy their work and be inspired!

Everyone is invited to attend the Good Life Celebration.

Over 700 area teens entered the Dottie Yeck Good Life Award Writing Contest. See if your school was represented.

The judges are independent community professionals, including university professors, authors, journalists, and retired teachers. All essays were judged twice with no identifying student information and scores were averaged.

This endowment-funded contest was developed in memory of Dorothy R. Yeck.
