Over 1,000 districts state-wide were eligible to apply for the Texas Art Education Association Visual Arts Award. Redwater ISD was one of only 42 districts to meet the high standards and will receive the outstanding honor indicating they are in the top 4 percent of districts in the state. The TAEA Administration and Supervision Division as sponsor, recognizes districts with outstanding leadership in promoting the arts in their district and community. We want to award districts that are actively participating members in TAEA and beyond TAEA sponsored events. This year's recipients exemplify a visual arts district of distinction.

CONGRATULATIONS to Redwater ISD and its visual arts students and instrutors. Instructors include: Carrie Slay - high school art, Tabitha Houchens - high school and junior high photography, Stacie Norton - junior high and middle school art, and Stacy Deaton - elementary art.
