At this year’s San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, Hoover took home some impressive first place ribbons. Under the direction of then Hoover senior, Sofonyas Shibre, Hoover’s news website, The Cardinal, not only scored First Place, but also Best in Class, and Best of Show, two of the fair’s highest honors. This is the second time Hoover has won all classes, with the 2016 launch being the first.

Staff members also won five first place ribbons for yearbook spreads, and seven, second place ribbons as well.

2018’s yearbook, Infinite, took home second place and halted Hoovers seven year top winning streak. However, the staff plans on bringing home first place again!
