Crane-Clarion, Gallimaufry Earn Top National Honors from Columbia Scholastic Press Association
Two student publications from Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School have received the highest national recognition from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) for their work during the 2024-25 school year.
The Crane-Clarion, the school’s student newspaper, was awarded a Gold Crown in the High School Print News category. This marks only the second Gold Crown in the publication’s history, with the first coming in 2018. It was one of only five high-school print newspapers in the nation to be awarded the top honor this year.
Gallimaufry, Cranbrook’s student-run arts and literary magazine, also earned a Gold Crown in the High School Print Literary Magazine category, its second consecutive win. The magazine has been recognized many times over the years by the CSPA and boasts an impressive decade-long streak of Gold or Silver Crown recognition. A special event at this year's Alumni Reunion will honor the legacy of the publication at Cranbrook Schools.
The CSPA Crown Awards represent the premier honor for overall excellence in student print and digital media, evaluating design, photography, writing, coverage, and concept.
