Each year
since 1997, the Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA) has awarded the
Excellence in Arts Education Awards to graduates from all over Florence
County. This tradition was continued on
May 18th as Ellie Becoat was honored at Hannah-Pamplico High School.
Becoat was
honored for outstanding achievement in visual art. FRAA Board Member and Francis Marion
University professor Keith Best, along with Emily Myers of Honda, presented the
award to Becoat. Becoat plans to attend
Francis Marion Unviersity in the Fall and major in Graphic Design.
Graduating
seniors from each of the seven public high school in Florence County are
eligible for the Excellence in Arts Education Awards. Nominations are made by arts teachers and are
based on academic achievement, as well as involvement in school and
community-based arts acitivities and performances.

pursuing advanced academic or professional degrees with majors in an arts
discipline or in arts education.
