Jacqueline Minogue, a theatre student at the Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) from the Southampton Union Free School District, was recently named a Scholar-Artist by the Long Island Arts Alliance and Newsday. She earned the honor for excellence as a practicing artist and for superior academic achievement.

Minogue is grateful to have been nominated for this honor.

“Being able to take musical theatre classes on a daily basis has made me such a better performer and more prepared for the future. At LIHSA we are treated as if we are professionals working with amazing teacher who has worked or still works in the field. That’s an experience you can’t get anywhere else. It’s such an honor to be selected for both my academic and artistic achievements. It can be a challenge at times to juggle voice lessons and rehearsals with academics. It’s nice to know all the hard work is paying off,” she said.
