Essex, Missouri - Richland R-1 School students took part in a candle lighting initiation process for Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society for high school journalists during the Red Carpet Yearbook Reveal party held at the school.

This is the first group from Richland School to be inducted into the international honorary society for high school journalists.  All five students met the stringent demands of the society for joining and were approved by the Executive Director.

"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 academics."

The 2014-2015 Richland Rebel Yeller Yearbook won 21 national and international photography awards plus other local and state awards.
