Alumni, faculty, staff and students recently gathered at Monsignor Edward Pace High School (Pace) for the 2018 Annual Pace Gallery Art Show. Marcel Navarro, lead instructor for Pace’s Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, organized the show which featured art pieces from current Pace students as well as alumni.
This year’s show introduced an additional element as Pace invited all local Catholic middle schools to participate in a competition portion of the event. Entries were accepted by sixth and seventh graders, and were delivered to Pace by a set deadline.
Pace faculty, staff and alumni served as judges for the competition, and a silver as well as a gold medal award were given to two students in each of the grades. Silver medal winners each received $250 to be applied toward a future Pace tuition. Gold medal winners received $500 prizes for future Pace tuition.
Among the sixth grade entries, Alexandra Creed of Saint Bartholomew Catholic School received the silver medal award, while Adriana Argote of Mother of Our Redeemer received the gold medal. For seventh grade entries, Kiersten Michael of Saint Rose of Lima received the silver medal and Sarah Khoury from Saint John the Apostle won the gold medal award.
It was a cheerful event where proud parents, friends and teachers shared in the talent of past, present and future Spartans.
