Art honors

— Jesse Lee, a senior at Decatur High School, was recognized for his participation in the annual Artistic Discovery High School Art Contest.

Kathryn Gough from the office of congressman John Boozman (R-AR) presented Lee with a certificate on Friday. Jacob Hilton of Springdale won first place in the contest, Rachel Hill of Siloam Springs placed second, and Caylie Foley of Siloam Springs and Dylan Siemans of Springdale tied for third place.

First place winners from each congressional district across the country will have their artwork exhibited in Washington D.C. on June 17.

“I want to congratulate Jacob and all of our outstanding artists who participated in this year’s art contest,” Boozman said. “I was pleased with the number of students who participated. I know, with 59 entries, the judges truly had a challenge.”
