Episcopal sophomore Emmanuelle Rollo was one of three national grand prize winners in the Moment Magazine Essay Contest for high school students. She won $500, and her essay will be printed in the April issue of the magazine.

The contest asked students to address the topic “What can be done to prevent future genocides?” Essays were judged on the quality of argument and the creativity of ideas.

Rollo is a co-founder of the Darfur Club at Episcopal. The club educates students about the genocide in Darfur and raises funds to help victims of the crisis.
