Saint Peter Public Schools

Two Saint Peter High School senior English students, Lola Pell and Tania Aguilar-Cruz, were named as runner-up finishers in a New York Times online “Teens on Politics Today: The Winners of Our Coming of Age in 2024 contest. 

Students were asked, “What can you show or tell us to help explain what it’s like to grow up in this political moment?” and more than 1,600 entries were received from around the world responding with powerful art and writing.

The SPHS duo submitted a podcast session they partnered up on for this contest, which was a two-minute dialogue the two had on the subject. The full NYT online article about the contest and list of winning entries can be viewed by clicking HERE!
