QUILL AND SCROLL’S HISTORY

Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists was organized April 10, 1926, at the University of Iowa by renowned pollster George H. Gallup and a group of high school advisers for the purpose of encouraging and recognizing individual student achievement in journalism and scholastic publication.

Since its founding, school charters have been granted to more than 11,300 high schools in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and 29 foreign countries. Media advisers in chartered schools are eligible to recommend outstanding high school journalism students for membership in Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society.

Membership: This is an honor society in which you are invited to join based on your involvement in Patriot Television, Journalism, or Yearbook. See Mr. Hutchinson (PTV), Mrs. Allen (Journalism), or Mr. Cerchio (Yearbook) for more details.
