Mt. Carmel High School student, Maggee Bleyer, takes 3rd Place in her submission in the writing portion for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois Judicial Art Competition titled “Justice Means”.
High School students from each of the 38 counties comprising the federal judicial district known as the Southern District of Illinois were invited to submit artwork and writings centered around the theme “Justice Means”.
Over 30 entries were received. Unfortunately, the pandemic coincided with the submission deadline, and the judging of the entries was delayed.
Winners were announced at a virtual ceremony on September 25, 2020. Maggee Bleyer’s poem, "Justice In My Mirror", was announced as one of the chosen winning pieces. Her work will be displayed at both federal courthouses located in East St. Louis and Benton, Illinois representing Mount Carmel High School.
