Academic Excellence Award Winner Yengkong Thao
Yengkong Thao’s interest in graphic design was sparked by chance. After a meeting with his guidance counselor at Wausau East High School in Wisconsin, Thao found out he had a gap in his class schedule that needed to be filled.
An artist at heart, Thao’s counselor encouraged him to consider taking a Graphics Communications elective.
“I always wanted to become an artist, and she told me that graphic design was at least somewhat related to art,” Thao said.
