At the recent meeting on May 20, the Board acknowledged two fine arts students from BHS for their achievements. Camryn Larsen, a senior, was awarded this year's Superintendent Art Award for her painting of an astronaut gazing into outer space. She described the artwork as capturing "the idea of escapism," where "the astronaut finds peace among the stars, away from the worries of reality." Her painting will be exhibited in the front lobby of the District Administrative Center for one year. Camryn plans to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall.

Brian Rudnicki, also a senior, received this year's BHS Principal Art Award. He utilized skills acquired in his woodworking classes at BHS, a welding program at Harper College, and after-school fine arts activities to craft two lamps made from walnut and stained glass. Brian explained that "the color scheme of the lampshades is based on the various colors of the northern lights in the night sky." He will be attending the University of London in the fall.
