Last week, the 2022-23 edition of the Harker Eclectic Literary Magazine (HELM) was named a finalist for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Crown Award, the organization’s highest honor for student media. HELM was one of 213 finalists chosen from nearly 700 entries. As a Crown finalist, HELM will receive either a Gold or Silver Crown at a presentation on March 15 at Columbia University in New York City.

HELM was one of four Harker student publications to win a Crown Award in 2022. In December, CSPA announced that Harker journalism was a finalist for two Crown Awards.
