Chisum High School hosted The TAEA Region 8 VASE Art contest on Saturday February 24th. Seventeen schools submitted three hundred and seventeen artworks to be juried for the chance to earn a regional gold medal.
Chisum had twenty-six students and forty-two artworks compete, of which all students received at least one regional medal for one artwork.
