As a result of the work done in the 2011-2012 school year, The Warrior has received a First-Class Rating, the second-highest rating possible from the National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA). The Warrior also received a Mark of Distinction in Coverage and Content.

The NSPA praised The Warrior for its ability to highlight the successes of the school and its students, while also taking on important societal issues that are significant to its readers. The Warrior was also commended for its efforts to use more infographics to make information more easily digested and to shorten the length of its stories. The Warrior’s reviews, personal columns and sports features were particularly praised for their consistency and variety.  Last year’s photography staff was commended for the strength of their sports photos.

The Warrior also submitted its content to Towson University’s Maryland High School Journalism Awards for review. The winners will be announced in November.
