2018 Davis Teachers
The James A. and Juliet L. Davis Foundation has opened its Teacher of the Year 2019 nominations for educators in USD 308.
The foundation will grant five awards this year for outstanding classroom teachers. Two will be selected from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, one from Hutchinson Middle School and two from Hutchinson High School. Teachers must be currently serving in the Hutchinson Public Schools to receive consideration. Administrators and other non-classroom and non-teaching personnel are not eligible to receive these awards.
When the annual Eastern Kansas Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition opens Feb. 1, Hutchinson High School will be well represented.
There will be a total of 14 HHS works in the exhibition. Of those 14, eight received Gold Key (first place) finishes in competition. In all, jurors picked 152 pieces as Gold Key winners.
The regional Gold Key works are submitted for the national judging process. Any artists with pieces selected as Gold Key at nationals their art work will be in New York City for the summer show.
An additional six Silver Key (second place) winners are from Salthawk artists and will be featured in the Mark Arts exhibit as well. The exhibition is Feb. 1 through March 23 at Mark Arts in Wichita. In all there were 166 Silver Key winners in the show.
