2007-2008 Essay Contest

"What person has changed the world the most in the
last 250 years?"

That was the topic for the third annual Goodlark Essay Contest and we received many interesting answers to our question from eleventh graders all over our three county area.  Ultimately, the first place winner was Andrea Hobson from McEwen High School for her essay on James Watson and Francis Crick, the discoverers of DNA.  Andrea wins a $1,000 scholarship to the college of her choice.
