ArtsTECH Academy students from University City High School celebrated
the end of their school year with an art exhibit and performances at
Barrio Logan's Woodbury School of Architecture.
Receiving
the honor for the evening was student Natalie Eddy, who is the
recipient of this year's Chris Gannon Memorial Scholarship. The grant is
given in the memory of parent and program volunteer, the late Chris
Gannon. It was funded by ArtsTECH teacher John Middleton.
Also
honored were retiring teachers Lauriel Adsit and Belinda Brown. Adsit is
a longtime art teacher and a co-founder of ArtsTECH. Brown is also an
ArtsTECH co-founder, is program coordinator and a theater teacher.
Middleton will also be leaving the academy this year, as he is taking an
administrator position within the district.
