Congratulations to Penumbra students!
Out of 456 student literary magazine submissions from schools across the country, Penumbra, produced by students at Smithtown High School West, has been recognized as an "excellent" literary magazine by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
This distinction is awarded through NCTE’s Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) program, which honors outstanding student-produced literary magazines created with the support of dedicated educators. The REALM program encourages schools nationwide to develop publications that celebrate the art, craft, and power of student writing.
