Kate Dziewinski, Editor-in-Chief

Senior Kate Dziewinski is an Editor-In-Chief for the DGS Blueprint. During her sophomore year, Dziewinski took Journalistic Expression, which sparked her interest in writing. Journalism quickly turned into one of her passions as she continued her writing as the Sports-Editor for the Blueprint last year.

In 2023, she qualified for the IHSA Journalism state competition in sports writing. She has also won two NISPA awards, a Best-Of-SNO and four IJEA 2024 awards for her sports writing. She also completed a journalism and communications mentorship program through the University of Nebraska; she hopes to attend Nebraska in 2025.

She also applied and got into a week-long Eastern Illinois University Journalism Workshop where she learned more about writing, broadcasts, radio, layout and interviews. Through her time at DGS, Dziewinski has won 14 Mustang Way awards as well.

A typical day for Dziewinski entails getting a coffee and hanging out with friends. Dziewinski also works at her local Starbucks as a barista. She is involved in Athletes Committed to Excellence, Blue Crew, BluePrint, Yearbook, National Honors Society, French Honors Society, PE Leaders, French Peer tutors, Mustang Way Access Leaders, English tutors, Journalism mentors, girls cross country and SuperFans.
Dziewinski is looking forward to developing her writing abilities for the last year at DGS.
