Eagle’s Quill, St. Michael’s literary-arts magazine, has earned the prestigious REALM First Class designation from the National Council of Teachers of English for its 2025 edition. St. Michael’s was one of only three schools in Arizona to receive this top designation, alongside two high schools.

Eagle’s Quill has been recognized by this competition for nearly 20 consecutive years, a testament to St. Michael’s longstanding commitment to student creativity and excellence in writing and the arts. The 2025 award is especially meaningful, as it marks the first time the publication has achieved the coveted First Class distinction.

This honor reflects the talent, creativity, and dedication of our student authors and artists, as well as the guidance and encouragement provided by our teachers. Their continued commitment to nurturing young voices and creative expression makes achievements like this possible.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this award-winning issue of Eagle’s Quill. We are proud to celebrate this milestone and look forward to many more years of creative excellence.
