About our Student Programs

Each year, in early winter and spring, the NWESD coordinates three highly anticipated student programs that provide an outside-of-the-classroom arena for students and teachers to hone their skills in writing, art, and basic knowledge: the Young Authors Conference, Knowledge Bowl, and the NWESD High School Art Show. These three student programs are coordinated by NWESD Curriculum Project Coordinator, Joanne Johson.

“Working with Student Programs is the best part of my job. I am reminded why I work at the NWESD. It’s for the kids!”
