🎨 Graduating senior Emele Siegfried was honored at the 2026 Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition at the Governor’s Mansion last Thursday. Her painting, "Emerging from the Red," a striking portrait of Elizabeth Eckford of the Little Rock Nine, was selected from thousands of submissions across Arkansas.

Her teachers, Ms. Otten and Mrs. Hurst, said, “There is no one more deserving than Emele to receive this honor. We are so proud of all she has accomplished and feel lucky to have been her teachers for the past three years!” 💙🐻
