We are very excited to announce that our talented students in the fine arts were recently honored by having their work selected in this year’s Scholastic Art competition. This is a highly competitive art show which was made more so by competing in the Southeast Region-at-Large. Despite this, our students had another record-setting year of recognizing Maggie Walker as one of the region’s top schools for the Arts and receiving more awards than any other local school!
