Scholastic Art & Writing Award Winner at Hinsdale Central

Congratulations to Elijah Seo ('14) who participated in the 2013 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program and received the Gold Key Award for his essay "Unfilitered."

This is an impressive achievement.  According to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards website:

Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual and literary-arts organizations across the country to bring The Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. 
In the last five years alone, students submitted nearly 900,000 original works of art and writing. 

English teacher Gina Chandler was Elijah's teacher during his junior year.  Congratulations to Elijah.
