New Horizons, the on-campus alternative education program for the Lake Hamilton Arkansas School District, was represented by four students, Alycia DeLima, Taylor Holmes, Faith Robbins and Shara Woods, in the 2012 Lake Hamilton High School Art show.

Student works of art were selected by Hope Foster, the New Horizons art teacher, and Ted Smith, fine arts chairman of Lake Hamilton High School. Holmes and Robbins have also been selected to submit work to the Arkansas Young Artist Association, a statewide competition for student artists.

This is the first year that New Horizons has had the opportunity to participate in this annual event. Foster and Smith are responsible for planning and implementing a fine arts curriculum for the students who participate in alternative education programming.
