On Tuesday, May 21, 17 students were inducted into the National Art Honor Society (NAHS). Members of NAHS must demonstrate dedication to their artwork, holding themselves to a high creative standard, upholding a B or above average in their art courses, and creating a positive and constructive atmosphere within the art classroom. Additionally, members need to have completed one full credit of a high school art course and have a recommendation from a visual arts teacher.
RCS NAHS members meet monthly, sometimes more, to discuss and work on projects to help bring students, faculty, and the community together through art. A large project this year was the Youth Art Month Summit in March. This event brought together the members of NAHS and 5th-grade Art Club members from A.W. Becker and Pieter B. to celebrate Youth Art Month (YAM). The Summit was a morning of collaborative media art stations that the members of NAHS led. Casiana Pagan, NAHS member exclaimed how exciting it was to work with the younger students. "This was a fantastic way to bring varying age groups together."
At the end of the ceremony, the National Art Honor Society celebrated its graduating seniors by presenting them with the chords they wear during their upcoming graduation.
Congratulations, National Art Honor Society Class of 2024! We look forward to the inspiring projects they embark on next year and to seeing how our members utilize art to form connections with other students and the RCS community!
Congratulations to all of the new members on this wonderful accomplishment!!
