Two POBJFKHS Students Named LI Scholar-Artists

The Long Island Arts Alliance has named Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School seniors Nadia Giovagnoni and Goeun Choi LI Scholar-Artists for 2023. This prestigious award is given to only 20 high school seniors across Long Island each year.

Scholar-Artist nominees are selected by their respective school districts, and the award recipients are chosen from five disciplines: visual arts, music, theater, dance and media arts. As part of the award, the Scholar-Artists will be featured in the online and print editions of Newsday. Nadia and her work will appear in a February 2024 edition, while Goeun and her work will appear in an April 2024 edition. Winners are also eligible for early scholarship consideration by Long Island Arts Alliance university partners.

“Nadia and Goeun have shown incredible talent, imagination and dedication in their artwork throughout their time in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District,” said K-12 Director of Art & Digital Instruction Dr. Ben Wiley. “Congratulations to these two excellent artists and their art teachers who have nurtured their talents over the years.”
