Last week, rising senior Sophia Liu received a national gold medal in the 2024 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her piece, titled “Paper Airplanes,” making her eligible to attend the national ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Her work will also be featured at exhibitions at exhibitions across the country. She also received two other Gold Keys, three silver keys and three Honorable Mentions for other work she submitted for the contest.
Liu’s awards were among a total of more than 70 won by Harker students (listed below), who were honored as Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable Mention winners in this year’s contest for their art pieces.
