Sofía Jiménez ’26 Wins People’s Choice Award in Congressional Art Competition

Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition, the Congressional Art Competition, is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in our congressional district. Saint Mary’s is thrilled to announce that Sofía Jiménez ‘26 won the People’s Choice Award, and her artwork will be displayed in the Raleigh offices of Congresswoman Deborah Ross for a year!

The Congressional Art Competition is open to all high school students in the Second District. The overall winner of our district's competition will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol. The exhibit in Washington will also include artwork from other contest winners nationwide.  

Saint Mary’s students who participated in the competition include: Mathille Waters ‘27, Lily Davis Horne ‘25, Caroline Short ‘26, Molly Shartzer ‘27, Sofía Jiménez ‘26, Miriah Lane ‘26, and Clari Seavy ‘25.

We are so very proud of these students, their artwork, and their accomplishments! 🎉🙌
