Two Chisum High School art students have taken top honors at a pair of notable art competitions for young people.
Kristen Parson has been selected as the winner of Texasâ 4th Congressional District for the 2021 Artistic Discovery Competition, sponsored by members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Nicky Teichroeb recently earned a gold medal in the UILâs Visual Art Scholastic Event state level competition, one of only 12 students to advance to the state level.
Parson, 16, the daughter of Grant and Sherry Parson of Arthur City, is a junior and has been in CHSâs art program since she was a freshman. She entered this same contest that year and was awarded the Peopleâs Choice Award. Her work hung in the office of then-Rep. John Ratcliffe for a year.
