ARTISTS CELEBRATED

Each year, the Connecticut Association of Schools honors two seniors from each member school who excel in the performing or visual arts. The Class of 2023 honorees from Berlin High School are, from left, Brynn Nogiec (visual arts) and Sara Rogan (performing arts). While excelling in the performing or visual arts is of primary importance in the selection process for the CAS award, scholarship and leadership are supporting criteria. Nogiec, Rogan and their fellow award-winners will be honored at a banquet to be held at the Aqua Turf Club in April. Berlin High School, Facebook
