A student at St. Mary's High School was recognized this month for her outstanding work in the Congressional Art Competition. Susan, a sophomore, received the 1st place award in painting for the 9th Congressional District. The title of her piece, "Becoming American" is an expression of "how European colonization changed native American land.
