Noblesville senior earns Scholastic gold medal

Maggie Hoppel

Congratulations to Noblesville High School (NHS) senior Maggie Hoppel on being named a national Scholastic gold medalist in writing for her piece “That Should Have Been the End of It.”

Hoppel beat over 300,000 students to be one of only eight gold medalists in the United States and will be honored with a reception at Carnegie Hall and a $12,500 scholarship. Her writing will also appear in a national anthology this summer. Hoppel was also honored with a silver medal for another writing submission.

Hoppel is a member of the NHS newspaper Mill Stream staff and plans to attend college as a creative writing major.

Congratulations also to NHS students Addison Cooley, Krista Horbett, Levi Miller, and Kaelyn Hart, who brought home state Scholastic writing honors.
