LCA is proud of its strong representation again this year in the Boston Globe Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. “We are so proud of our students and the recognition they have received in this year's competition. They are an incredibly ambitious and talented bunch, and it's rewarding to see them earn awards for their tremendous efforts. We put a lot of different work in this year–everything from stained glass to embroidery!” said Amy Chaney, Arts Division Head. “Two of our students, Sarah Heghinian and Eunice Lee, will be featured in an exhibition open to the public from March 5th-20th at Education First in Cambridge.”
There were over 15,000 entries in Art, and approximately 2,500 writing entries. Over 50 judges looked at or read the entries, and made hard choices based on 3 criteria: originality, technical skill, and personal vision.
“The English Department is impressed with the wide variety of genres submitted by the students this year,” said Lori Johnson, English teacher and World Languages Division Head. “For example, Ann Rees Berry's play, ‘Paperclip’, is a deeply moving script that was a highlight of the winter theater productions. We are proud that our students in all grades are writing meaningful poetry, essays, stories, and plays that celebrate their creative gifts and their insights into the world around them.”
LCA’s Gold Key winners in Fine Arts include: Sarah Heghinian, daughter of Ohan and Naomi Heghinian of Burlington, MA, for her drawing, “Self Portrait”; and Eunice Lee, daughter of Jung Hee Lee and Eunyoung Lee, of Burlington, MA for her drawing, “Self Portrait.”

Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Students’ submissions are blindly judged by leaders in the visual and literary arts. The program represents the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition initiative for creative teens, and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers.
