We are proud to celebrate an unforgettable achievement by junior Eli Rodriguez, who recently competed in the State VASE (Visual Arts Scholastic Event)—one of the most competitive visual arts competitions in Texas.
Among more than 32,000 student entries statewide, Eli earned a rating of 4 and secured a State VASE medal. This remarkable accomplishment marks the first State VASE medal in YMLA history.
Eli’s success reflects his talent, creativity, and dedication, and we could not be prouder. Congratulations to Eli for making history and representing YMLA with excellence!
