CJ student wins Dunbar poetry contest

Madeline Miles, a senior at Chaminade Julienne High School, won the 24th Annual Paul Laurence Dunbar Poetry Contest for high school poetry and will receive recognition and a $100 award in a May ceremony.

According to Miles, her entry “The Monarchy” is about where the world of childhood imagination can take its young travelers and a unique perspective of ruling the world.

In addition to writing, Miles, a Holy Angels School graduate, is a member of CJ’s volleyball team, Key Club and a class representative of student council. She is also involved with service work including coaching the 7th and 8th grade volleyball team at Holy Angels. She plans to attend St. Mary’s College in Indiana and study political science.

Miles lives in Oakwood with her parents, Mike and Trish.
