Richland and Hanford high school students showed their talents with everything from acrylic and metal to gemstones and glazed tile in the 47th annual Educational Service District 123 Regional High School Art Show.
Nine pieces earned Judge’s Choice awards, qualifying them for the state Superintendent’s High School Art Show in May. Richland High student Jarom Pratt earned a Judge’s Choice award for one of his pieces and the Superintendent’s Choice award from Superintendent Dr. Rick Schulte for another.
Two other Judge’s Choice winners, Hanford High’s Kendra Keller and Richland High’s Ellie Marsh, received scholarships to Central Washington University for their pieces.
Five other artworks received Honorable Mention, which are awarded by teachers to their students.
Students from throughout the Tri-Cities and Mid-Columbia participate in the annual art show. Judge’s Choice winners will be on display at the ESD 123 offices in Pasco from March 9 through April 10 before being sent to the state show in Olympia.
