The 2024 edition of Leonardo (and all associated contributors, editors, and advisor) was awarded First Place by the American Scholastic Press Association. The ASPA writes:
“Leonardo is an excellent publication which deserves a FIRST PLACE award in the annual American Scholastic Press Association’s magazine competition. Creating a magazine teaches students the fundamentals of publishing and creative writing, proofreading/editing skills, and concepts of design/composition while promoting and supporting a community of young writers, thereby nurturing esteem and status. Your magazine shows the superior efforts of talented and creative editors, writers, artists, photographers, layout/graphics designers, staff members, contributors and advisor. ASPA congratulates all on your First Place award!”
Congratulations to all who worked hard to bring Leonardo 2024 to publication! Congratulations to our students who submitted their works, the students who worked tirelessly as editing staff, and to our advisor Jessica Mills. If you’re a CNM student interested in joining our award-winning editing team in Spring 2026, keep an eye on CNM’s Honors Programs webpage for course availability. No experience necessary – just bring a strong passion for learning, literature, and peer collaboration!
