Twenty-one students from the Rockville Centre School District had their artwork selected for display in this year’s Nassau County All-County Art Exhibition at WT Clarke High School in Westbury.
The prestigious exhibit on March 1 showcased more than 1,300 works created by top kindergarten through 12th-grade student artists from school districts across Nassau County.
Among the honorees, South Side High School senior Gabriela Guizzo was recognized as a Senior Art Scholar Award recipient during a scholarship ceremony held in conjunction with the exhibition.
The Rockville Centre School District’s art program supports student creativity and artistic growth from the elementary grades through high school. At the elementary level, students receive foundational instruction that emphasizes basic techniques, imagination and self-expression, helping to cultivate an early appreciation for visual arts.
In middle school, the program expands to include a wider range of artistic media, as well as courses such as digital photography and Studio in Art. Students learn fundamentals of composition, lighting and digital editing while also exploring multiple art techniques and materials.
At South Side High School, students can pursue advanced study in areas including digital media and photography, sculpture and ceramics, painting and drawing, and IB Art. The district’s visual arts curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop technical skills, explore personal artistic interests and prepare for future academic and career pathways in creative fields.
