The Wayfarer is one of only three Wisconsin high school
literary magazines to receive this honor this year. In the magazine’s 29-year
history, NCTE has consistently ranked it “Superior.” Magazines with that rank will be narrowed to only about two dozen in the nation to receive the “Highest Award” later this Spring. The Wayfarer has achieved this top recognition three times in the past. The letter sent to English Department
Chairperson Ms. Diane Mertens states, “It is a very special honor for your school’s
literary magazine to be cited. The National Council of Teachers of English
congratulates you and the students who produced this exemplary literary
magazine.”

The editorial staff relies on your talented contributions in order to assemble
an award-winning publication! The mission of the NCTE Program to Recognize Excellence
in Student Literary Magazines is to encourage all schools to develop magazines
which print excellent student writing and which show evidence of school-wide
participation in the production of the magazine.
