Harrison County Schools honors student winners in art, theater and technical competitions
Summary
The Harrison County Board of Education recognized dozens of students on June 3 for county, state and national honors in visual arts, theater and SkillsUSA competitions; advisors and teachers were acknowledged and certificates distributed.
Dozens of Harrison County students received certificates and public recognition from the Harrison County Board of Education on June 3 for awards in visual art, theater and career-technical competitions.
The board recognized winners from the Harrison County Youth Art Month, state Youth Art Month contests, the Congressional Art Show, the Arts Alive exhibition and other local competitions; it also honored Bridgeport High School’s Thespian Troop for awards at the West Virginia State Festival and United Technical Center students who placed in SkillsUSA events.
The recognition provides public acknowledgement of students’ awards and the teachers and advisors who accompanied them. School staff announced names and prizes during the meeting and invited winners and advisors to the front for photographs.
Most of the art recognitions cited by the board were county- and state-level placements: second- and third-place finishes in county Youth Art Month, selections to show at Arts Alive, and placements in West Virginia Art Educators Association contests and the Congressional Art Show. Bridgeport High School students earned multiple state-level theater honors including outstanding one-act performance and individual acting and design awards; the group was noted as selected to represent West Virginia at the International Thespian Festival. United Technical Center students earned gold, silver and bronze medals in SkillsUSA categories including collision damage appraisal, construction tool identification, motorcycle service technology, commercial drone and technical drafting.
Board members and staff asked advisors and art teachers present to identify themselves for photographs. The board did not take any formal policy action tied to the recognitions; the segment of the meeting was used to distribute certificates and celebrate student achievement.
Less-critical details: specific student names and the list of every award were read aloud during the meeting; students from multiple county schools were mentioned, and several winners were noted as selected to show at Arts Alive or to represent the state at national festivals.
