Burrell Arts Student Earns National Awards
Posted on 05/28/2025
Jessica Alvarado Campos holds two gold medal certificates.

An incredibly talented student from the Burrell Arts Campus has plenty to look forward to this summer. Jessica Alvarado Campos is getting ready for a trip to New York City where she'll be honored at the world-famous Carnegie Hall.
 
The junior student competed in the national Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, the country's most prestigious recognition program for creative teens.
 
Jessica won a gold medal in the Ceramic & Glass category and a gold medal in Mixed Media which is a visual art form where the artist combines two or more different mediums or materials into a single piece of artwork.
 
And if that wasn't enough accolades, Jessica also earned the American Visions Medal for her work in Mixed Media. Scholastic will honor her during an award ceremony at Carnegie Hall on June 11.

Congratulations Jessica on your incredible achievements!
