I'm excited to announce that Phoenix High School had the top 3 of Oregon's top selections for the 2018 Congressional Art Competition. Noor Akil won the top honor and will have her work on display in D.C. for one year.  Vivian Tauer and Lupita Alegria were the runners-up for Oregon.
​
This is a nationwide event for our artistically-talented high school students in Oregon to have their art work on displayed in the U.S. Capitol. A panel of experts, including gallery managers, art professors, judged the student work and choose Noor Akil as the Oregon winner and 2 other runners-up from Phoenix HS. Besides having art work displayed in the 2018 national student art exhibit, Noor Akil will also receive complimentary round trip airfare for two to Washington, D.C., to attend a reception in her honor. The Oregon runners-up (Vivian Tauer and Lupita Alegria) will be recognized locally and have their artwork hung Greg Walden's local office.
