Carlyle High School yearbook staff earned several awards in the annual Illinois
Journalism Education Association, IJEA, yearbook contest for the 2024 Tomahawk.
The annual student publication, which featured a Spotify-inspired theme, received an
honorable mention in the Division Two overall rankings.
To earn this, the staff placed in the top three of four different categories. They earned
second place in Copywriting, third in Coverage of Sports, third in Coverage of School Year, and
third in Graphics.
“I'm really proud of how my students were acknowledged for their creative spin on a pop
culture theme,” said yearbook adviser Gina Shook.
The staff also received honorable mentions in Divider Pages and Photography.
Senior and editor-in-chief Grace Edler is a returning staff member who worked on the
2024 yearbook.
“Working on this year's book has been a rewarding experience and makes me extremely
excited for the publication to be sent out to our students to commemorate their year,” said Edler.
While there are no extra copies of the 2024 yearbook, the new 2025 yearbook can be
ordered online at any time before April. Orders will also be collected at school during January
and March.
