While the Charlotte Latin community eagerly awaits the 2026 Eyry yearbook, last year’s Eyry has been collecting an impressive array of awards. The North Carolina Scholastic Media Association honored the yearbook with seven “section awards” in its small school division, including first-place awards for copy, layout, and photography. The NCSMA also singled out seven aspects of the yearbook for individual awards, including first-place awards for sports spread design (a collaboration between Sam Lyons ’27 and Cecilia Clifton ’28) and feature spread design (Sophie Dunn ’27 and Emily Farmer ’27). Judging Eyry as a complete 432-page hardcover volume with the theme “The Long and the Short of It,” the NCSMA issued its highest ranking, All-North Carolina, and its highest honor, Tarheel (issued only to the best student-driven work among the All-North Carolina recipients).

In addition, judged against yearbooks from across the nation, Eyry received a prestigious Silver Crown from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

Eyry was also honored by the Walsworth Yearbooks publisher, which included it in its 2025 Gallery of Excellence and its President’s Collection (encompassing the best yearbooks nationwide from both high schools and colleges), and featured it in its inspiration book for other yearbook staffs nationwide, Possibilities, Volume 11: The Standard for Yearbook Inspiration.
