Banner art: “Reconvergence,” Andrea Ye, ‘28

CA artists had a strong showing in this year’s Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, earning recognition across multiple categories and media. Their work stood out among submissions, reflecting both creative ambition and technical skill. 

Unfortunately, due to a technical issue, we’ve been learning about the winners in a piecemeal fashion. We want to celebrate these accomplishments, and you can help.

If you were a Scholastic Award winner, or have information about a Cary Academy student who is, please let us know HERE.

This page will be updated as we learn more.
