Hutchison Girls Win Big at 2024 Regional Scholastic Art Awards
Hutchison girls won 35 Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards this year, with 5 Gold Keys, 9 Silver Keys, and 21 Honorable Mentions.
We see how incredibly talented our artists are every day, but it’s always amazing when their work is recognized by professionals. With 35 awards, Hutchison made an impressive showing in the regional competition.
The Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards offers the girls a chance to compete on a regional and national level. It is an opportunity for them to be recognized for their talent and creativity. It is also a way for the public to see the level of work that is produced consistently by Hutchison’s visual art department.
Congratulations are also in order for the professional working artists who work with our girls each day. They foster a classroom environment that inspires students to express their creativity and strengthen their confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
