SNO Recognizes 62 Publications As 2021-2022 SNO Distinguished Sites

As most schools made a full return to in-person learning this year, attention and focus were understandably pulled in a number of different directions. Despite this, many publication staffs still set their sights on earning SNO badges and working toward becoming a 2021-2022 SNO Distinguished Site.

Overall this year, SNO recognized 62 publications as SNO Distinguished Sites and awarded over 200 schools with at least one badge.

For some staffs, this year brought them their first-ever Distinguished Sites title.

For others, it offered a chance to continue their impressive multi-year streaks.

Still for a few others, the 2021-2022 Distinguished Sites season provided an opportunity to reclaim their title after a year off.

Whether they’re first-timers or repeat recipients, we recognize all the hard work, dedication, and teamwork it took along the way and congratulate all of our 2022 SNO Distinguished Sites!
