Each year, Principal Mr. Herrera and I nominate an artistic senior to create a display for the Wall of Acceptance that showcases the schools and programs that our twelfth graders have earned admission to attend. These are displayed permanently throughout the school to celebrate our senior success! This year's honor went to Emilia W.

Emilia's other opportunities, along with the hundreds more we expect for her classmates, will be posted as the offers come rolling in this spring!

Senior Margaret S's project was recognized by Teaching Tolerance on a twitter blast, celebrating her submitted work from Ms. Schleicher's art class to the #UsVShate art contest. We are happy that our students are using their creative skills to express themselves, but even more proud when we can see our students having an impact on such a larger scale.

Students identified issues they found most relevant, then researched, and created an artwork to be hung up in our halls to raise student voice and community awareness on campus. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • See other student work on our online gallery ArtSonia! |
