MCHS National Art Honor Society Community Project
By MCHS Junior- Delaney Green
McCracken County's chapter of the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) is starting the school year off strong with a new community-based project. They are collaborating with the Public Library to bring beautiful artwork to their public spaces. On Oct 26, 2024, from 9am to 5pm, students will be hard at work creating student designed and executed koi pond mural located under the stairs in the lobby.
The mural itself was designed by McCracken Student Amel Lundberg. Amel is the exhibitions Chair for the school’s National Art Honor Society. They have been eagerly in charge of organizing and leading this event. “Koi fish mean a lot to me as a symbol of strength, courage, and peace, and this library has always been a staple of my childhood. It’s also an amazing opportunity for me, NAHS, and McCracken. I’m so grateful to have taken charge of it,” Lundburg states.
This will be a shining opportunity for student leadership and hands-on collaboration with local public establishments. Community members are encouraged to come see the work in progress and post photos. Other NAHS student members will also be in attendance to do complimentary face painting for any children in attendance..
NAHS member Isabella Weaver, applied and was accepted to the NAHS mural team. She states “By bringing art into our community, we can build relationships with the people around us. We get to spread a positive influence that can really make a difference”. Members like Weaver are excited to engage in such a project to cultivate community and be part of something the people of their city can enjoy.

What do you want students in your school to know about your culture?
I think the representation of the Mexican population is important. Since it is one of the largest within the Hispanic community in the United States. The Mexican influence is reflected in multiple aspects of American life, from food to cultural and linguistic traditions. We can highlight the high impact that the Mexicans who work here have in both countries. Mexico represents a fundamental part of the diversity within the Hispanic heritage. Celebrating Mexican culture helps highlight the richness and breadth of different Hispanic cultures, promoting greater inclusion and appreciation for cultural diversity.
Mexico has had a significant impact on the politics and economy of Latin America and the world, being a key actor in the international arena. Mexico is known for its vibrant traditions and festivities, such as the Day of the Dead, the Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and the Grito de Dolores celebrations. These festivities offer a rich opportunity to educate others about Mexican customs and traditions. A very important one is the celebration of the Day of the Dead, one of the most recognized internationally. Not fearing death is typical of Mexican culture.
When we talk about our culture, phew! We don't stop! Since culture and art in our country have gone around the world and we are a reference for great movements in history. But without a doubt, what distinguishes us most is its people, good-hearted people, excellent hosts and a country that, although at times it seems divided, is actually one of the most united.- MCHS Freshman, Megan Martinez

What do you want students in your school to know about your culture?
This month celebrates the diverse contributions and cultures within the Hispanic community. By highlighting Venezuela, it ensures that the diversity within the Hispanic community is recognized and appreciated. Representing Venezuela provides the opportunity to share and promote its rich cultural heritage, including its music, dance, food, festivities and traditions. Although in recent years, Venezuela has faced a severe economic and political crisis, resulting in a massive departure of Venezuelans seeking better living conditions in other countries. This situation has drawn global attention and generated international support. As Venezuelans, we seek to recognize our country with a lot of culture, atmosphere, happy people and full of traditions, history, sports and with great gastronomy that is not found in other countries. Venezuela is a beautiful country that has been overshadowed by political issues. But it is up to our Venezuelan citizens to make known the beauty of our country and not foreign policy or violence. - MCHS Senior, Franchesca Colina Noriega
