As part of the MLK Celebration Event, all Story County high school students were invited to enter the annual MLK Celebration Essay Contest (due December 7). Students are asked to share how Dr. King, Jr. impacted their life or the lives of family, friends, and community, which helps motivate and inspire others to continue his legacy. The first prize winner will be invited to read the winning essay at the MLK Celebration.
