The Fourth Estate was recently recognized with an Honor Rating of First Class with Marks of Distinction for Visuals and Presentation by the National Scholastic Press Association. NSPA has more than 1,350 members and is a national community of student journalists and scholastic journalism advisers. 

The judges commended the design of the publication, noting that the magazine's illustrations do an excellent job of capturing attention because of their appearance and execution as well as communicating a clear message to readers. They also noted that a strength of the magazine's coverage is its ability to combine verbal and visual messages so consistently.

Way to go, Fourth Estate staff! Be sure to check out the latest issue at the link below!

The Owls charged out to a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to two own-goals by The Toads, both on crosses from Laguna Blanca junior Brody McGonigle.

Laguna Blanca responded by scoring a header from a corner and two breakaways, one from Frankie Baron '23 and the other one from Beckett Smythe '26.

Center back junior Gabriel Lea led the defense, and senior Aden Meisel and junior Andreas McClintock controlled the midfield.

Congratulations to the girls soccer team on their 15-0 win against Ojai Valley on Tuesday! "It was great to see the team come together and start playing as one," says Emma Schubert '23.
