Zoi Ricalde '28 was awarded a National Gold Medal for her sculpture entitled "The House of Ruins." Her ceramics teacher is Mr. Casey McDonough. 

Olivia Manfrey '28 was awarded a National Silver Medal for her drawing entitled "The Violence I Don't Mean." Her studio art teacher is Ms. Charla Gaglio.
