The U-High Midway has again been named a Pacemaker Finalist by the National Scholastic Press Association. 

The Pacemaker was given to the Midway for journalistic excellence during the 2021-22 school year. The Midway has been a finalist in five of the last six years and 15 times in its history. 

Just 33 high school newspapers in the country were named finalists this year.

Current Midway editor-in-chief William Tan said he was proud of the achievements of the journalism team.

“It’s a reflection of the work that we have all put in as a team,” William said, “and hopefully this coming year everyone will continue to work hard to make that award happen.”
