The West Watch won first place prizes at the New England Scholastic Press Association for excellence in broadcast journalism. This organization(NESPA) covers and reviews material from all six states in New England. Also, the awards the West Watch won were the first ever awarded. I find this to be a big accomplishment from such a small school in the smallest state in the USA, considering these five students who produced it were the only five students picked out of a large organization(NESPA) to win.
