Emily Storm, an 11th-grade student at Mayo High School for Math, Science & Technology, is the winner of the Darlington County School District’s (DCSD) 2021 Holiday Card Art Contest. Storm’s drawing, which features the mascots of all four district high schools building a snowman, will be printed on the front cover of the district’s official holiday card. This year, the Holiday Card Art Contest included DCSD students in grades 9-12. All four high schools and the Darlington County Institute of Technology each selected a school winner from artwork submitted by their students. Employees in DCSD’s Administrative Offices then voted on an overall winner from among the five finalists. Storm will receive a certificate, $50, and a packet of holiday cards featuring her drawing. Her art teacher, Lyn O’Donnell, will receive $100 for art supplies for Mayo High School. The four other finalists for this year’s competition were: Peyton Miller, 9th grade, Lamar High School Lakayla Peoples, 11th grade, Darlington County Institute of Technology Jude Williams, 10th grade, Hartsville High School Mariah Royster, 9th grade, Darlington High School
