Hutchison Girls Win Big at 2025 Regional Scholastic Art Awards
Hutchison girls won 53 Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards this year, with 8 Gold Keys, 18 Silver Keys, and 27 Honorable Mentions.
We’re reminded of the remarkable talent of our artists every day, but it’s even more exciting when their work earns recognition from professionals. With 53 awards, Hutchison led all other independent schools in the regional competition.
The Mid-South Scholastic Art Awards is an annual juried student art contest representing students from over 100 schools in East Arkansas, West Tennessee, and North Mississippi. This competition offers the girls a chance to compete on a regional and national level and be recognized for their talent and creativity. It also offers the public a glimpse into the consistent quality of work produced by Hutchison’s visual art department.
We also want to celebrate the professional artists who work with our girls daily. They foster a classroom environment that nurtures creativity while helping students build confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
