Nathaniel Bowes, a high school senior, has won a regional honorable mention award in the 2016 prestigious Scholastic Art and Writing Contest for his flash fiction piece, “Static.”

To earn the award, Nathaniel’s piece, was judged against a record-breaking 320,000 works that were submitted by private and home-schooled students for adjudication at the regional level.  

“We are delighted that Nathaniel’s hard work and talent have been recognized by this prestigious panel of professionals,” said English teacher Brenna Gilroy, who encouraged the senior to enter the contest.
