ETHS juniors Asher Baron, Anna Grant-Bolton, and Noah Goldstein were each recognized in the New York Times 7th Annual Student Editorial Contest.

The worldwide contest involved more than 7,300 submissions. Students were asked to write a 450-word editorial on a topic they care about, gathering evidence from sources both within and outside The New York Times, and convince readers of their view.

Anna Grant-Bolton was named runner-up for the editorial, “Redefining a Life: Changing the Conversation About Gun Violence.”

Asher Baron’s editorial “Body and Soul” and Noah Goldstein’s editorial “Becoming Math People” were both recognized as finalists in the competition.
