Ellis Students Win 98 Scholastic Art Awards

The Ellis School continues to have strong success at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards winning a total of 98 awards among 68 different students! Girls in grades 7-12 are encouraged to submit their artwork to the awards which is the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious arts recognition program.
The outstanding creative talent at Ellis is a testament to our girls’ hard work and dedication in the studio, and a nod to our incredible Visual Arts faculty. The 16 Gold Key winners are automatically entered into the National Judging competition in New York.

The impressive, award-winning art from Ellis artists and other Pittsburgh schools will be on display at La Roche College from February 4 - February 19 in their Student Union Center. Congratulations and well done, Ellis girls!
