Locust Valley High School art students are off to an incredible start to the school year, earning accolades in both the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County Student Art Competition and the Nassau County High School Art Competition.
Junior Kali Frazer won the gold award in the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s competition, and her piece will appear in the June section of the extension’s 2026 Gardening Calendar and Guide. Fellow junior Humnaa Abid, sophomore Sebastian Canales and alumna Annemie Germans were all recognized with the bronze designation.
Seniors Evie Bergman, Nicoletta Friedrich, Xen Naimsushyna and Julia Pisciotta and junior Chloe Arrata all had works accepted into the 2025 Nassau County High School Art Competition. The Locust Valley students contributed six of the 85 projects selected by juror Stephanie Yovino-Folk to be displayed at The Art Guild in Manhasset from Nov. 2-29, as Pisciotta had two works chosen.
