Titan artists recognized in regional Scholastic Art Awards
Twenty-three Trinity artists have been recognized in the annual Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, described as “the nation's longest-running, most prestigious educational initiative supporting student achievement in the visual and literary arts.” 
 
Submitting work photography as well as 2D and 3D art, Titans earned visual arts 30 awards, including seven Gold Key, eight Silver Key and 15 Honorable Mention awards, all of them selected from thousands of entries by high school students in the region. Gold Key winners of art and writing will advance to the national level of judging in New York City.
 
In recognition of his work guiding students in their creative processes, Tom Condon, Trinity photography teacher, was presented with a 2026 Plaza Outstanding Regional Educator Award, one of only six awarded in the region.
 
“Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients,” reads the official award description from Scholastic. “Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.” Recognizing exceptional artwork by students in grades 7–12 throughout the U.S., Scholastic provides the largest source of creativity-based scholarships for middle and high school students.
 
The Trinity visual arts curriculum includes photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, mixed media and much more. Course levels are designed to meet the needs of beginning students through IB art certificate students. Trinity’s 4,000-plus square-foot visual arts center brings together artists, painters and sculptors in a spectacular collaborative space. Learn more at www.trinityes.org/arts.
