High School Writing Winners
Announced
The
Northeast Alabama Community College chapter of Sigma
Kappa Delta, the English honorary for two-year schools,
is proud to announce its winners of the 2009 Writing
Competition for students in area middle schools and high
schools. NACC’s Epsilon Alpha chapter began sponsoring
the high school/middle school competition in 2001. Since
then, students from Jackson and Dekalb counties have
proudly displayed their writing talent. Last year, Dade
County was included in the competition. Each year the
college asks area teachers to submit poetry, fiction,
and essays from students in grades 7-9 and 10-12. These
entries are then judged by a panel of Sigma Kappa Delta
members and NACC faculty. The top three students in each
area of each division are given certificates and pen
sets and are recognized at NACC’s annual awards day
program. Additionally, the student’s work will be
published in the upcoming edition of the Aurora, the
college’s literary magazine.
This year’s competition was quite successful. The
college received forty-two entries from schools in
DeKalb County, Jackson County, Dade County, and Fort
Payne City systems. The winners are as follows: Fiction
7-9—1st Place Brett Bankston (Crossville), 2nd Place
Jordan Bryant (Sylvania), and 3rd Place Amber Uptain
(Crossville); Poetry 7-9—1st Place Zac McCurdy (Ft.
Payne), 2nd Place Graham Dodd (Ft. Payne), and 3rd Place
Mellie Lammon (Ft. Payne); Essay 7-9—1st Place Sarah
Wootten (Sylvania), 2nd Place Gavin Barkley
(Crossville), and 3rd Place Sarah Hansen (Ft. Payne);
Fiction 10-12—1st Place Stephanie Sledge (North Sand
Mountain), 2nd Place Savannah Sisco (Crossville), and
3rd Place Brittany New (Dade County); Poetry 10-12—1st

(Crossville).
Congratulations to all these talented students and their
teachers. The teachers who are responsible for working
with these students are Courtney Ashburn (Paint Rock
Valley), Valerie Smith (North Sand Mountain), Pat
Edmonds (Sylvania), Bettina Goins (North Sand Mountain),
