Eight Greenwich High School students were selected in the Connecticut Scholastic Art Awards for their exceptional work from multiple types of media, including photography, ceramics and more.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is the largest, longest running and most prestigious recognition program for creative young people in the United States.
Greenwich High School Arts Teacher and Arts Program Associate Julie Nixon said, “The Greenwich High School Art Department is very proud to recognize our eight Connecticut State Scholastic Art Award recipients, including one who went on to win a Gold Key on the National level. Our students won these awards competing against nearly 2,800 students from about 145 schools in Connecticut alone.”
