Rachel Hawk is not only the talented keeper for the undefeated city champion Lady Jaguars’ soccer squad, but she is an
award winning artist as well.

In a state wide art competition, ”Bringing the USS Georgia home:  Celebrating Georgia’s Ambassadors for Peace,”  Rachel’s poster design was selected as a first-place winner for middle schools.  Rachel will receive a cash award of one hundred dollars, a signed photograph of the USS Georgia, a certificate signed by the captain, and an official USS Georgia baseball cap.  In addition, her framed design will be on display along with the other winners at the homecoming of the USS Georgia to Kingsbay Submarine Base, St. Mary’s Island on March 28th.  Rachel’s sensitive watercolour pencil rendering features a sailor saluting the returning submarine as it sails silently into a Georgia peach sunset.
