SCHS art teacher, Mr. Trotter, with Scholastic Art Awards winners from SCHS

Scholastic Art Awards competition is the biggest art competition we do, it starts at the state level and then goes to the national level.  Our students have been working extremely hard this year and it has paid off.  This year we had 13 different students win awards.  

  • Carlos Carrasco received an Honorable Mention for a drawing
  • Jesus Chaves received an Silver Key in drawing
  • Victor Chavez received an Honorable Mention for a sculpture
  • Vivian Fuentes received an Honorable Mention for a fabric dye painting
  • Brenda Gallegos received a Gold Key for a fabric dye painting
  • Yessica Garcia received an Honorable Mention for a drawing
  • Bela Jedlicka received both a Silver Key and a Gold Key in Drawing
  • Piper Lefdal dominated with a Gold Key Portfolio ( 6 artworks viewed together ) and two individual Gold Keys as well as three Honorable Mentions
  • Bon Mejia received two Honorable Mentions for drawing
  • Maximus Moran received a Silver Key in Drawing
  • Ghislane Rodriguez received a Silver Key for her fabric dye painting
  • Hasley Salgado received both an Honorable Mention and a Gold Key for drawing
  • Aivlis Serrato earned two Silver Keys in drawing

I can't overstate the amount of work that the kids put into their artworks and this show.  I have never had this many individuals win awards.  The award winning artworks will be on display in Omaha for the month of March, and the students that earned Gold Keys will now be judged against Gold winners across the nation for a chance to get their work displayed in Washington DC for a year.
