We are proud to share that two Alvin ISD students were selected from this year’s TASA/TASB Youth Art Month submissions to be featured in the month-long exhibit at the State Capitol.
Districts across Texas may submit between three and seven pieces based on enrollment, and two of our seven entries were chosen by the Governor’s wife for this prestigious honor. Congratulations to Layla Johnson of Manvel High School for her piece, “Do You Believe in Magic?” and Patricia Morales of Shadow Creek High School for “Creation of Imagination.”
This recognition highlights the incredible talent and creativity of our students and the strength of our visual arts programs!
