Class of 2006 Alumna Clara Purk (pictured above) was featured among other West High School students in today's Salt Lake Tribune as being chosen by PBS to participate in a national program for broadcast journalism entitled Newshour Extra, an educational effort of the Newshour with Jim Lehrer. Clara's program at West High was one of only six throughout the United States to be included. You can read the full article and view an embedded video of Clara's work here regarding student and parental rights and the first amendment. Clara has already received a debate scholarship to USC, where she hopes to be accepted into the Film School. Clara's brothers Michael (4th Grade) and Connor (8th grade) continue as students at the Choir School.
Congratulations Clara!
