Three Students Honored in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

Three Students Honored in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, established in 1923 and managed by the non-profit Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, is the longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teenagers in the United States. The program encourages students in grades 7–12 (ages 13 and up) to submit works in 28 distinct categories, including poetry, short story, painting, sculpture, and photography.

This year, we are proud to celebrate the outstanding artistic achievements of three Belmont Hill students: Kyle Ayres '29, Adrian Chen '28, and Sean Park '28.

Kyle and Adrian each earned Silver Keys for their photography while Sean won Honorable Mention in the mixed media category for his charcoal and oil pastel piece. Adrian also received an additional Honorable Mention in photography. 

Congratulations to all three boys! The winning pieces can be seen below.
