On May 19, three students from Educational Service District (ESD) 113 received statewide awards at the 53rd annual Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Superintendent's Art Show.
Each spring, ESDs hold regional art shows and submit their top 15 pieces to the Superintendent's High School Art Show. Jury committees and representatives from arts and educational organizations select winners for 26 statewide awards.
In our region, students received recognition from OSPI, the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB), and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA):

Awardees received a certificate and a $200 award. Their pieces will be displayed in a virtual gallery on the OSPI website.
ESD 113 will continue to recognize regional talent through the 2027 Regional High School Art Show.
