🥳 Short Story Winners! 🥳
I'm proud to announce the winners of Carlan Law's 2026 Spring Short Story Competition! We had a difficult time choosing the winners this year - everyone did so well. Cherokee High School has some very talented writers thanks to the tireless efforts of their teacher, Justin Jones!
Please take a moment to celebrate the winning authors.
Back in 2020, we started this scholarship because we wanted to celebrate young authors in a meaningful way. Each year, the writing gets better and better. We've seen writers grow over multiple competitions, and more importantly, we've seen them support one another in honing their stories with workshops and peer review. The writing community at CHS is strong.
I could not be more proud of the hard work they've put in. This is the most rewarding aspect of my job. Congratulations to everyone who participated and to the winners!
