Our state’s high school press association began in the offices of UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel. DTH editors invited high school newspaper editors to the first North Carolina Scholastic Press Institute in 1936. Our state association was then formed and became part of UNC’s journalism program in 1941. Professor Walter Spearman served as director for 30 years.
Today, NCSMA is housed in Carroll Hall, home of the UNC School of Media and Journalism. We offer an array of programs and services year round.
To mark our anniversary, we have established an unrestricted fund that will allow us to offer such things as travel grants and substitute teacher pay, ensuring better access to our workshops and events.
