“Our students got out of their comfort zones to essentially develop powerful works of art with a story.  Our State Championship continues the legacy of the arts in guiding students to go from the invisible to the visible to capture our 9th State Championship.  We are honored to have been a part of their journey to create art because God placed the right students at the right time, so that we could boast in the work of His Hands for this State Championship.”
