Howdy St. Joe! It is time to celebrate the artists among us! The Scholastic Art Awards just came out, and we are proud to have loads of fellow students who won various awards.

Scholastic separates their awards into 3 levels: Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention, with Gold Key being the most prestigious. All winners are invited to a ceremony to celebrate their work, and Gold Key winners advance to national competition, where they can win Gold Medals, Silver Medals, and even scholarship opportunities. So, without further ado, here are St. Joe’s winners!

Gold Key Winners: Rachel Gebhardt, Paige Goben, Alex Choinacky, Bryant Barca, Lucy Noem, Zach Pendergrass, Jazmin Gutierrez, Jeanne Cressy, Olivia Borsodi, and Zach Zalas.

Silver Key Winners: Alex Choinacky, Logan Kanouse, Lucy Noem, Olivia Borsodi, Nadia Firestone, Bryant Barca, Jerry Barca, Ainsley Hennel, Paige Goben, Arianna Bailey, Caroline Kocovski, Zach Pendergrass, and Murphy Wiginton.

Honorable Mentions: Annie Cummings, Charlie Helm, Paige Goben, Lainey Eder, Arianna Bailey, Murphy Wiginton, Brennan Moser, Isabella Jordan, Jack Tobolski, Eliana Lang, Anastasia Nolan, Eileen Marra, Sophia Helfrich, Molly Borger, Ainsley Hennel, Nadia Firestone, Avia Firestone, Maya Waltz, Alex Choinacky, Mary Glenn, Nicole Byrne, Logan Kanouse, Tom Farrell, and Claire Forchetti.

All of these winners used a variety of medias to create their art. We had winners in all categories of art, from photography to painting to ceramics to digital art. This versatility speaks to the talent of our student body and the leadership of our art teachers. Say congratulations when you see our Scholastic Art Award winners in the hallway, and stay artistic St. Joe!
