The 29th Annual Superintendent's Art Show was hosted at Chester Middle School by the Arts Council of Chester County and the Chester County School District in May 2024.
Local artist Suzanne Laferriere judged each entry and chose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, along with Honorable Mentions, for each grade category. School Superintendent Dr. Sutton chose 4 Superint. Choice winners.
Thank you to the Chester County art teachers and students who worked diligently to create these masterpieces to be shared with our community! Special thanks also goes to Leslie Jacobs, Dana Williams for compiling the slideshow presentation, and other school staff for producing this show.
