Prince George High School is known for its rich performing and visual arts culture across Southside Virginia, and several of the school's artists received high marks during the recently held Fourth Congressional District Art Competition, which Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan hosted.
On Thursday, May 2, 2024, the representative's office announced the winners and finalists for this year's art contest. The contest featured art from students across the congressional district, which includes Prince George County and several surrounding localities.
Prince George High School senior Brooklyn Miller placed second overall in the contest and first in the painting category for their piece titled "A Moment of Silence." Fellow senior Abigail Saucedo received an honorable mention in the drawing category for their piece, "Eye Self Portrait."

“My office received dozens of beautiful, inspiring and thought-provoking submissions from students throughout the district," Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan said in a statement.
