Hillcrest HS Student Wins at SSC Regional Art Exhibit

Hillcrest High School’s very own Ogechi Oparah was named winner for Best of School at the South Suburban College Regional High School Art Exhibit! “Ogechi has always been a dedicated member of the Art Society. He began researching various art techniques and artists and found his niche with using spray paint. He is still working to make his art pieces even more original,” said art teacher Mrs. Jamilah Adebesin Mason. “I didn’t have an appreciation for the arts until I took Advanced Placement Studio Art,” said Ogechi. Oparah was recently accepted to the University of Illinois at Chicago and hopes to become a surgeon.
