Senior named among "Top 20" in Spotlight Competition
Camryn Anderson, a senior at the high school, was listed among the top 20 student artists recognized in the 2023 Student Spotlight Competition. The contest, sponsored by BestPrep and Thomson Reuters, asked students to create a work of art to describe what they want the future to look like.
Students could answer the following prompt with written word, art, sculpture, music, theater or another artform: "If you had the opportunity to re-imagine and create a more equitable society, what would that look like in your world? What can we do not to get closer to the world you imagine?
The Key by Camryn Anderson
The key is simple and clear as day
An equitable society is coming our way
They say this is America the home of the free
Yet out on the streets more people are brought to their knee
The world used to be so black in white
Now there are new colors showing us light
So many people to meet everywhere
Unfortunately there are still some people who would rather stop and stare
We have lost the key to unlock equality
If only you saw the world the same as me
You would be able to really truly see
The key is simple and plain as can be
