Cherokee County School District student artists earned statewide honors in the PTA Reflections fine arts contest, with one student earning a national prize!

The annual competition offers students in all grades and of all abilities the opportunity to create original works of art in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts 2D and 3D. Students can earn recognition at the school, district, state and national levels. This past school year’s theme was “I am Hopeful Because ...”

School level winners advance to the district competition, with first-, second- and third-place awards presented. The first- and second-place district winners advance to the state competition, and top winners then move on to the national contest.

Eleven CCSD students earned first- or second-place in the state competition this spring. Keirthen Titus, who as an E.T. Booth MS eighth-grader this past school year earned first place in Georgia for Music, advanced to nationals … and earned second place in the country for his entry, “Written”!
