Jostens announced Chaparral Academy of Technology in Fontana, Calif., as the first-place winner and recipient of the second annual Jostens Epic School Revamp grand prize package, valued up to $150,000. Chaparral Academy wins a thorough consultation with Jostens SchoolMark services to revitalize its overall identity, culture, and climate. They will also attend the 2025 Jostens Renaissance Global Conference and enjoy a reveal rally this spring, providing an opportunity for the entire community to come together and celebrate.
Amid its school culture revival, Chaparral Academy has already seen incredible results in attendance rates — ranking from one of the lowest in the district to consistently placing in the top two. Staff, student families, and community members alike are invested in continuing these positive changes with the Jostens Epic School Revamp.
“We are thrilled to be hosting our second Epic School Revamp contest with the special team at Chaparral,” said Michael Burgess, CEO, Jostens. “After seeing the transformation at Warren, I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together this year!”
SchoolMark will collaborate with Chaparral Academy to develop a compelling identity that resonates with students and staff. Jostens is ready to redefine the symbolic and visual representation of what it means to be a Chaparral Roadrunner over the next several months, the company said. Following the reveal rally, Jostens Renaissance will keep its refreshed mission alive by working with students to cultivate Roadrunner pride, peer connections, and a positive school culture.
John Jenson, the Director of SchoolMark at Jostens, voices “Chaparral turned out to be the perfect Grand Prize Winner! They already have the staff, faculty, and leadership to accomplish amazing things. Our resources will allow their message to be seen and felt throughout their entire community. We can’t wait to watch these young Roadrunners ‘make their mark’ for years to come!”
The runner-up was also announced: Summerville High School in Summerville, South Carolina. They will receive a runner-up package valued up to $37,500, including an invitation to the 2025 Jostens Renaissance Global Conference and access to exclusive Renaissance Education tools, resources, and support.
