A Pella High School journalism student has been recognized among Iowa’s up and coming.

Faith Vandenberg of Leighton was selected by the Iowa High School Press Association as one of the Top Ten Emerging Journalists for 2022.

Each year, the IHSPA seeks to identify the future of scholastic journalism in Iowa and high school advisers nominate promising students for the next year. Judges review work samples and letters to identify the Top Ten.

The top ten students receive a certificate, a specialty pin, and a $100 scholarship toward attending the 2022 Summer Journalism Workshops for high school students at the University of Iowa.
