Purchase Prize History

The Hoban Purchase Prize was established, under the leadership of Mr. Micah Kraus, in 2014 in order to honor the creative talent of Hoban students while also enhancing our school environment. Since that time Hoban has purchased numerous pieces of student artwork. These framed works are on display throughout the Hoban campus.

Students whose works are chosen for the Purchase Prize receive $75 and a printed reproduction of the artwork. Their original art piece is framed and labeled with name and year of purchase and then displayed in a prominent location in the school building.

Our goal is to highlight student artistic achievement, to create an ever-growing archive of student artwork, and to enhance our school environment through the presence of creative energy. In doing so, we make visual Moreau’s principle that the “mind shall not be cultivated at the expense of the heart.”
