Congratulations to Peyton Jackson, a junior at Eldorado High School, for being selected to represent New Mexico at the prestigious Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference in Washington, D.C.

Peyton is one of just 51 students — one from each state and D.C. — chosen for this incredible five-day summer program that celebrates young journalists who “dream, dare and do.” She’ll gain advice from top journalists, connect with peers from across the country, earn a $1,000 college scholarship, and experience the nation’s capital — all expenses paid!
⁠
Way to go, Peyton — you’re representing APS and New Mexico with excellence!
