Three North Escambia students were among the winners in Black History Month essay contest sponsored by Cox Communications.

Jordyn Dunsford and Brandi Boggan from Northview High School and Breanna Fowler from Ransom Middle School were named winners.

The students will be featured during the month of February on Cox Channel 2 in public service announcements about the African American they chose to write about in their essay.

As part of the celebration of Black History Month, Cox offered students the opportunity to enter two contests, an art contest that celebrates African American heritage, and “Making A Difference: A Tribute to An African American in History” essay contest.

Elementary, middle and high school students throughout Escambia County submitted original art entries which were judged by area artists and educators.

The Making A Difference essay contest was offered to kindergarten through 12th grade students in Escambia County whose works were critiqued in their respective schools with the top four being submitted for final judging.
