Connecticut Scholastic Art Awards Program is a non-profit, all volunteer activity which is sponsored by the Connecticut Art Education Association.

The program recognizes the work of talented young artists in Grades 7 to 12. Student artwork is juried by professional artists and university art faculty and is selected on merit for inclusion in a state-wide art exhibition held at the University of Hartford Art School.  The Scholastic Art Show is highly competitive, with a minority of submitted works selected for inclusion. Beyond the honor of being selected for this high quality exhibit, students may be awarded gold or silver keys and honorable mention places in each of 16 media categories. The winners of the gold key award will have their artwork submitted to the National Level Scholastic Art Awards for jury at the close of the exhibit. Selected works will be on exhibit in the National Show in June 2006.

Five PHS art students have won honors for their entries to the CT Region of the Scholastic Art Awards.
