Huge congratulations to Ryan Hooks-ConTreras from Broken Bow High School for winning an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards!
His pieces…
"Times Change, yet the Cause Remains"
“Seeds, seeds and more seeds” and
“Separg, Italy”
…are juried for the Regional Arts Show and will go on display at the the spectacular Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville.
The artists were recognized for originality, skill, the emergence of a voice and vision. Ryan is a student of Mr. Kelly Persinger, Art Instructor.
Since 1923, the Awards have recognized some of the nation’s most celebrated artists and writers while they were teenagers, including Tschabalala Self, Stephen King, Kay WalkingStick, José Parlá, Amanda Gorman, Charles White, Joyce Carol Oates, and Andy Warhol.
We are proud to count our student among these esteemed Scholastic Art & Writing Awards alumni!
