PCTI proudly celebrates the outstanding achievements of two students from its Communication Arts: Advertising Art & Design CTE, who earned first-place honors in this year's Congressional Art Competition, an annual nationwide program that recognizes and encourages artistic talent among high school students.
Johana Rivera captured first place in the 9th District Congressional Art Competition, hosted by Congresswoman Nellie Pou, for her artwork, Swan Lake. Kaylee Park earned first place in the 11th District Congressional Art Competition, hosted by Congresswoman Analilia Mejia, for her piece, Comfort Food, Uncomfortable Me.
As district winners, both students will have their artwork displayed in the United States Capitol, where they will be viewed by thousands of visitors, congressional staff, and government officials throughout the coming year. Their artwork will represent their respective congressional districts while showcasing the creativity and artistic excellence cultivated within PCTI's Communication Arts: Advertising Art & Design program.
The Congressional Art Competition offers high school students from across the country an opportunity to have their artistic talents recognized on a national stage. Johana and Kaylee's award-winning pieces reflect not only their creativity and technical skill, but also the dedication, innovation, and passion they have developed through their Career and Technical Education experience.
Their accomplishments highlight the strength of PCTI's Communication Arts: Advertising Art & Design program, where students gain hands-on experience in design, illustration, digital media, and visual communication while building the skills needed for success in both higher education and creative careers.
PCTVS congratulates Johana and Kaylee on this extraordinary achievement!
Their success is a source of pride for the entire PCTVS community, and we look forward to seeing their artwork displayed in the United States Capitol over the coming year.
