Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Art Contest Secondary Student Winners

For more than 50 years, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo School Art Program has challenged students and schools to think creatively. The program provides students, Pre-K through 12th grade, the opportunity to compete in district shows, earn scholarships, travel to summer workshops and display artwork in the Hayloft Gallery during the Rodeo. Schools also have a chance to receive a Super Show award for their outstanding participation. Currently, the School Art Program supports approximately 130 different school districts, including private and parochial schools, in the Houston area. Each year, the Rodeo receives thousands of entries from talented young Texans.

This year, our CCS artists stole the show at the Private/Parochial Division School art judging on Tuesday, January 18 at the NRG Center. CCS won the Gold Medal award for both Middle School and High School Art and a Special Merit Award for High School.
