The Woman’s Press Club of Indiana was established in 1913 by women who sought representation in their newsrooms and organizations. Today, WPCI is one of the oldest continuously operating journalism organizations in the state. 

This prestigious organization and the National Federation of Press Women have recognized the outstanding work of the following Homestead yearbook and Spartana students:
