Sarah Dockter, a senior at Marist School in Atlanta, earned a silver medal in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards national competition for her mixed media pencil drawing, “Extended Flower.” This award places her in the top 1 percent of more than 250,000 submissions to the competition. She will receive her award at Carnegie Hall in New York on June 6.

To hone her skills, she spent last summer at New York’s Parsons The New School for Design. Dockter hopes to study art in college.
