As if winning 39 Boston Globe art awards wasn’t enough, three Gov’s students recently won top awards in the 2013 National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition. Two of the awards were Gold Medal writing awards for Imogene Robinson ‘13 and Myles Badger ‘13. Helen Shi ‘15 won a Silver Medal for her ceramics piece; she had already received a Gold Medal from the Boston Globe competition!

Last year we felt very proud when Milan Gary ‘12 won a Gold Award at the national level for her ceramics piece. This year, we tripled our success! This is the first time a Gov’s student has won a National Award for writing and the 10th time we have won a National Award for art. We are the only high school in Massachusetts this year where students won National Awards in both areas.

These awards are the highest honors given to high school writers and artists in America. Our three talented students will receive their awards at a special event at Carnegie Hall on Friday, May 31st. Their winning work will be dis-played in New York City during the summer of 2013.

Three students take home National Awards in Art, WritingNumber of awards now stands at 42!
