Hempfield Area High School Community<br />
Art Exhibition<br />
Throughout the 2015-2016 school year, art students, under the direction of<br />
teachers, Tom Billeck and Emily Daignault, created numerous works of original<br />
art to be viewed by the community and beyond. These students wanted to<br />
infuse inspiring art throughout the school and at the annual art exhibition at the<br />
Westmoreland Museum of American Art.<br />
Students worked together toward a common artistic goal which encouraged<br />
them to be accepting of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, celebrate<br />
various artistic styles, and utilize problem-solving skills throughout the artistic<br />
process. The artwork promoted a culture of art appreciation and a community<br />
of art advocates. All student artists were required to create a proposal, and once<br />
their plan and materials were in place, students stayed after school and on<br />
weekends to create their<br />
art. Several of the works<br />
are still in progress and<br />
will be finished during the<br />
2016-17 school year. This<br />
project was funded in part<br />
through a grant from the<br />
Hempfield Area Foundation<br />
Funds.<br />

School student art show<br />
at the Westmoreland<br />
Museum of American Art.<br />

High School Competes in First VEX Competition<br />
A team of students from the high school HEP program travelled to the Sarah<br />
Heinz House in Pittsburgh to compete in the VEX competition. The team spent<br />
three months designing, building, and programming a robot using VEX parts<br />
with the objective of shooting balls into a net. This was Hempfield Area’s first<br />
year participating in this competition. The team placed sixteenth out of thirtytwo<br />
in the seeding round, to then advance to the semifinals of the regional<br />
qualifying round. This finish was strong enough to qualify them for the state level<br />
competition, where they unfortunately were eliminated.<br />
