Numerous LHS artists had artwork accepted into the 2015 Michigan Thumb Region Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. The following students will be honored at a ceremony on February 2 at the Macomb Center for the arts. Their artwork will be on display at the Lorenzo Cultural Center at Macomb Community College February 2-17.

Congratulations to our Lapeer High School artists!

Emma Somers’ Gold Key in drawing was recognized as one of the five “Best of Show” and received our region’s “American Vision Award” for the competition. The top five “Best of Show” also represent the region on the national level as American Vision nominees. A national panel selects one of the nominated works from each region as the American Vision Award Recipient for 2015. Those winners will be announced in the spring.
