Adleigh Ziegler Wins “Outstanding Senior Artist” Award
By Jackie Campbell
Hoxie High School held its annual All-School Art Show featuring artwork from kindergarten through twelfth grade, along with the 7-12 Spring Concert, on April 30, 2026. A Hoxie resident judged the high school work and awarded an Outstanding Senior Artist, two 3-D Best of Show projects, 15 gold stars, 9 silver stars, and 9 bronze stars awards.
All seniors were to represent their artwork for the school year. Out of twelve seniors who displayed their work, Adleigh Ziegler was named “Outstanding Senior Artist.” There were two “3-D Best of Show” given, one to freshman Viley Pridey for her rooster glass mosaic, and another to sophomore Jaylen Herl for her lizard glass mosaic. The projects from these students clearly showed originality, craftsmanship, and beauty.
