On January 7th, the artworks of several Hugoton Middle and High art students were judged in Ulysses for an upcoming competitive display at the Baker Arts Center in Liberal to compete in the Western Kansas Scholastics Art Competition.
This year Hugoton USD 210 entered multiple artworks from students enrolled in art this year in grades seven through twelve. Student works are either accepted into this show or rejected. Once student’s works are accepted, they compete for various awards. These awards are Honorable Mention, Silver Key and Gold Key.
