Carving Out History

December 22, 2025

High School East and West National Art Honors Society students recently visited the Heckscher Museum in Huntington. Students were able to observe Emma Stebbins, "Carving Out History" on exhibit. Stebbins (1815–1882) is one of the most significant American sculptors of the nineteenth century. While her Bethesda Fountain in Central Park has been a global icon for 150 years, the full scope of Stebbins’s life and work is virtually unknown.

National Art Honors Society is run by High School West's Lauren George and High School East's Christpher Lauto.
