The CAS Arts Awards annually honor two outstanding seniors from each member school who excel in the performing or visual arts. While excelling in the performing or visual arts is of primary importance, scholarship and leadership are also supporting criteria. Students were honored at a banquet at the Aqua Turf on Monday, March 30. Berlin High School is proud to announce this year’s recipients: Chloe Constantine, representing excellence in visual arts; and Addison Guarino, representing excellence in performing arts.
Chloe Constantine is a passionate and creative artist, eager to contribute innovative ideas to any team they are part of. They are strongly ingrained in the artistic community at Berlin High, as a member of the concert band, jazz band, and drum major for the Redcoat Marching Band. They have been the lighting designer for BHS fall plays for the past couple of years, and most recently Chloe was seen on stage in the role of Prince Hans in the Berlin High production of Frozen. Chloe’s involvement in musical endeavors goes beyond BHS, volunteering as a camp counselor with the Joseph and Anthony Manzi Foundation annual summer band camp. Their artwork adorns the halls of the Berlin High music suite and has been selected for display at local businesses through the Art Around Town program. They have been inducted into the National Honor Society and have earned one Gold Key and two Silver Keys in the Scholastic Art and
Writing statewide competition for the Arts. When not creating beautiful art or music, Chloe can be found volunteering at or running Upbeat events; Chloe dedicates countless hours serving as one of the Upbeat Coordinators. After graduation, Chloe’s plan is to attend Marist University to major in Fashion Design.
