Claremore Public Schools is proud to announce that Alana Brady, an 8th-grade Will Rogers Junior High student, has achieved an extraordinary milestone in the 2024 JOM (Johnson-O'Malley) Art Competition. Out of more than 1,000 entries representing 31 schools statewide, Alana's artwork not only earned 1st place in the 7th & 8th Grade Division for the Pencil, Charcoal, Pastel, Colored Pencil, Crayon, and Marker categories but her piece was also selected as Best of Show across all first-place winners in the competition!
Alana’s talent and dedication to her craft were guided by Jessica Vann and Tama Breen, her art teachers at Will Rogers Junior High, who have consistently fostered creativity and artistic excellence in her students. This prestigious award speaks volumes about the vibrant arts program at Claremore Public Schools and the incredible potential of its students.
The JOM Art Competition is a highly respected showcase of student creativity, celebrating cultural heritage and artistic expression. Alana’s winning piece stood out for its originality, technique, and emotional impact, making her the top honoree among hundreds of talented young artists across Oklahoma.
"Alana's achievement is a testament to the importance of supporting the arts in education," said Jessica Vann. "Her passion and hard work paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of her success."
"We are thrilled to see our students recognized on a state level for their incredible artistic skills," said Claremore Public Schools Executive Director of Fine Arts, Dr. Schuyler Adkins. "This win highlights the dedication of our teachers and the extraordinary talent within our student body."
Please join us in congratulating Alana Brady on this remarkable achievement. Alana's success not only brings pride to Claremore Public Schools but also reinforces our commitment to nurturing innovation, creativity, and excellence in all students.🦓🎨 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
