The Scholastic Art Awards is the longest running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. Teens who enter may are judged by highly qualified art professionals regionally. Those who receive Gold Key Awards move on to be considered for national awards and scholarship awards.
This year, we are proud to recognize two students from Kaiser High School for their winning entries into this program.
