Saint Andrew’s School is proud to announce that Upper School student Kiley Dahl '27 has received a First Class distinction in the 2025 NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing Contest. This top honor recognizes exceptional writing skill, creativity, and voice, and is a testament to the strength of Kiley’s work and the dedication of our faculty.
This year, 680 students were nominated by their schools from across 41 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and eight countries, including China, Jordan, and South Africa. Entries were evaluated by national judges for expression of ideas, language use, and unique perspective.
The First Class distinction is the highest of four possible recognitions in this prestigious competition. Congratulations to Kiley for this outstanding achievement and for representing Saint Andrew’s with excellence on the national stage.
