Every spring, students from across Oklahoma receive special recognition at the Oklahoma Education Awards for Arts Excellence. The 33rd annual event, hosted by the Oklahoma Alliance for Arts Education, Oklahoma State Department of Education, Oklahoma Arts Council, and Masonic Fraternity of Oklahoma, will be held on April 18 at 7 p.m. at the Masonic Temple in Guthrie. High school juniors and seniors will be recognized individually in the ceremony for their remarkable talents and will receive awards in dance, drama/theatre, instrumental music, piano, visual arts and vocal music.

This year Chandler High School has three seniors who will be recognized as Arts Excellence Honorees. Grace Myers is being honored for the second year in Drama and Theater; Shayla Robbins is being honored for Vocal Music; and Trever Spruill is being recognized for the second year in Drama and Theater. Congratulations, Lions!
