Mercy Peterson accepted to Governor's School for the Arts

Adair County High School junior Mercy Peterson, the daughter of Eric and Caroline Peterson of Columbia, has been accepted to the Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) for summer 2024. This year's program will be held in two sessions this summer at the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington.

Peterson's discipline at GSA this summer will be "Film + Photography." She says, "I love portraying emotions and being able to preserve stories through film and photography. I enjoy being behind the camera and expressing my feeling through digital art."

For the last two years, Peterson has taken classes with Mrs. Cayce Davenport, Art Teacher at Adair County High School. Mrs. Davenport says, "It's been my pleasure to have Mercy in my art classes. She's an incredibly gifted young lady with a heart to create and an understanding of her purpose on this earth."
