Godley High School junior Gianna Demetres placed second in the 2024 Congressional Art Competition sponsored by U.S. Representative Roger Williams.

Demetres’ artwork “Construction” is a charcoal drawing of a hammer, screw and ruler and will be displayed in Representative Williams’ Cleburne district office for the next year.

She is an Art 2 student in classes taught by GHS art teacher Laura LeBeau.

Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition called the Artistic Discovery Contest is sponsored by the Congressional Institute. Each U.S. congressional district is given the opportunity to participate in this contest as a way to recognize and encourage the artistic talent of their high school students.  Entries must be original in concept, design and execution and can be paintings, drawings, collages, prints, mixed media, computer-generated art or photographs.
