46 high school students from across Acadiana and Southwest Louisiana participated. Entries came from Basile, Carencro, Lafayette, Scott, Lake Charles, Elton, Cameron, Grand Chenier, Creole, Youngsville, Jennings and Duson.
“Creativity is essential for a well-rounded education, and the annual Congressional Arts Competition gives me the opportunity to highlight some of Southwest Louisiana’s best and brightest young artists,” Boustany said. “Any high school student who is interested, should contact Holly Sibley in my Lafayette office with questions.”
“College costs have skyrocketed nationwide making a college education out of reach for many students,” Boustany said. “Today, Congress began to address these out of control costs by holding universities and colleges accountable for tuition, fee and text book cost increases. In addition, schools will disclose critical and comparable information, so students and families will know what they are getting for what they are paying.”
