The spring national high school journalism convention comes to Denver for the third time since 1992, and you won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from the best, compete at the highest level, and motivate your entire staff.
The convention will be held in the Sheraton Denver hotel, on the the 16th Street Mall, April 16-19, 2015. Registration is $90 per person for the entire event, and the hotel offers a great room rate, if you will be staying overnight. Of course, for many students and advisers in the Denver metro area, it may be more convenient and less expensive to attend as a commuter. Light rail, for instance, will take you to within four blocks of the hotel.
Many more details will be available beginning in the fall, but you might want to check out our initial promo video, which was unveiled in April at the San Diego convention. Many thanks to Cory Morlock and multiple students who contributed to this video.
