TCA SENIOR WINS NATIONAL WRITING AWARD
Daniel D’Agnese, a senior at The Classical Academy, was recently awarded a Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Silver Medal for his writing portfolio, “I’m Not Myself Today.”
The portfolio contained six writing pieces, including short stories. His work previously won a Gold Key at the West Region Writing-at-Large, competing with other writers across the western states. The Gold Key qualified D’Agnese to compete at the National level.
More than 80,000 students submitted nearly 230,000 works of art and writing to the 2021 Scholastic Awards. Only 2,000 works received National Medals, which means D’Agnese’s work is within the top 1% of all submissions. He was selected by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts, for excellence in originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
