Congratulations to Marceline Castrillon and Zaneta Korcourkova who won HM in the 10th Artists on the Rise Juried Art Exhibit, open to all HS students in MD, VA, DC area. 24 students were also selected for exhibit at Montpelier Arts Center. @APSArts @principalWHS @APSArts

Last year's Theme was "I Matter Because" and Meijin's beautiful winning photo is entitled, "I Matter because I embrace the Future". Apologies for the error. Humbled by the accomplishments of these two young artists. Included is Meijin's VA winning photograph from 2021.

CORRECTION! A 2ND FOR WAKEFIELD! This is the 2nd year in a row a Wakefield student has advanced to Nationals. Since virtual last year, this Outstanding accomplishment by Meijin Patil sadly didn't receive the same fanfare as it would have if we were in person.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Senior Vivian Alvarado whose photograph, "Youth Will Be the Change" has just won the Virginia PTA Reflections competition and will advance to Nationals! A first for Wakefield! @principalWHS @APSArts @SuptDuran @APSVirginia @APSVaSchoolBd @wakefieldptsa
