Jostens reveals first Epic School Revamp winner in Warren, Ark

In September 2024, Jostens revealed the transformation of Warren High School in Arkansas, following its selection as the first winner of the Jostens Epic School Revamp. This initiative, announced seven months prior, included a grand prize package aimed at enhancing the school's identity and culture. As part of the reward, school leaders attended the 2024 Jostens Renaissance Global Conference in Orlando, where they gained strategies to improve educator morale and academic achievement. The revamp included a striking new visual identity, featuring the Lumberjacks logo and tagline prominently displayed throughout the school. This transformation was celebrated by students, faculty, and community members, who gathered to witness the changes. Superintendent Bryan Cornish expressed enthusiasm for the new identity, emphasizing the importance of unity within the small district of 1,400 students. Jostens CEO Michael Burgess highlighted the significance of the visual messaging, stating that it would energize students as they returned to school. The initiative aims to foster a culture where all students strive to excel, encapsulated in the motto "A Cut Above." The Jostens team is committed to helping schools create a lasting representation of their community values. Looking ahead, Jostens plans to search for another school in need of a cultural refresh this fall. They encourage schools to apply, noting that the application process itself can inspire reflection on the school's legacy and community message, ultimately engaging students in shaping their school's future.
