Hopatcong Middle School Classbook Honored by Publisher

The classbook 'Into the Spotlight' will be held up by Walsworth Publishing as a model middle school yearbook.

It’s not often that a middle school’s yearbook is awarded a national honor, but that’s exactly what happened to the 2013 edition of Hopatcong Middle School’s classbook.

Walsworth Publishing recently announced that the HMS classbook “In 
the Spotlight,” has been inducted into its “Yearbook Gallery of Excellence.” This distinction is awarded to student publications that consistently demonstrate superior quality, according to the publisher.

The selection of HMS’ classbook as a gallery publication recognizes it as high-quality student work, according to school officials.

The book will be used by Walsworth to help provide inspiration for other middle schools at its regional, state and national conferences and workshops. The cover, spreads and images of "In the Spotlight" will also be used in the publisher’s educational materials and resources as an example of the quality work that can be created by students at the middle school level.
