Student's Successes
Congratulations to HeatherAnne Lee for being awarded an amazing scholarship to attend Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall of 2021.  Heatheranne's outstanding portfolio earned her a scholarship of $19,000 for each of her 4 years (that's $76,000)! You will see HeatherAnne's artwork under the "Classes, Camps and Photos" tab.  Her dedication, motivation and hard work made this possible and I am very, very proud of this young lady.
