Two students from Booker T. Washington High School have been announced as nominees for Presidential Scholars in the Arts. The students are Olivia Harris, for Musical Theatre and Jeniffer Criss for African Dance.
Each year, 20 young artists from around the country are named Presidential Scholars in the Arts. NFAA is the exclusive nominating organization to the Presidential Scholars in the Arts Program, which means that it is only through participation in youngARTS that students are eligible to become a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. At the request of the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, NFAA nominates up to 60 youngARTS Finalists each year. From this group of nominees, the Commission selects 20 to be named Presidential Scholars in the Arts.
The Presidential Scholars Program is a national recognition program administered by the U.S. Department of Education to honor some of the nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors.
Each year, the 20 young artists join 121 academic Presidential Scholars in Washington, DC, for National Recognition Week in June.
