Attention all student artists, writers, dancers, filmmakers, musicians and photographers!

The 2025-2026 National PTA "Reflections" student art competition application period is now closed. Please check back here for our Golden Hawk winners!

Created in 1969, the National PTA “Reflections” program is an art contest that encourages students to express their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas by providing positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Each year, over 300,000 students around the country in PreK-Grade-12th Grade, as well as an Accessible Arts division, are invited to create theme-based artwork in 6 different artistic categories. HSHS will hold a blind judging of our school's entries, and the top entries from HSHS will advance to Wake County PTA for judging. The county then holds judging of all school winners, who then advance to North Carolina state judging, and from there the winners go on to the national competition. Judging categories include: Visual Arts, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, Photography, and Film Production. You can find more information here!
