Nineteen Mount Pleasant High School Art students earned First Rate Medals at the recent Visual Arts Scholastic Event at Pleasant Grove High School recently. Ten of them scored in the 55-60 range and were in the running to advance to State.

“We took 22 students to state and brought home 19 medals,” said MPHS Art teacher Laura Kirkland. “I am very proud of how our students did and how well they represented MPHS. Next time we will try to achieve all of us getting medals!”
