Southern Teachers Agency works with the best schools in the South.

We want to see what they look like.

Enter STA’s Student Art Calendar Contest

Your School Could Appear in our 2024-2025 Calendar.


Founded in 1902, Southern Teachers Agency is the oldest teacher-placement service in America. We have served private & independent schools and educators in the South for more than a century.

At Southern Teachers, we believe that teaching the fine arts is fundamentally important to the overall education of children. Art teachers develop in their students not only an aesthetic sense and technical abilities, but also creativity and imagination, which are essential talents in our ever-changing world.

The Southern Teachers Agency 2024-2025 Academic Calendar will feature students’ artwork depicting the schools they attend. The artwork should focus on a distinctive, recognizable architectural feature of a campus structure, building, or buildings.

We are looking for original two-dimensional artwork from your students in grades 8-12. STA will select twelve pictures for publication in the art calendar and on our web site. In July, the calendar will be sent to more than two thousand private & independent schools around the country, making this a wonderful opportunity to showcase your students’ artistic talents.

Each of the twelve winning student artists will receive five copies of the calendar and a $150 gift certificate for art supplies, which has been very generously donated by Blick Art Materials.

The Southern Teachers Art Calendar celebrates southern independent schools and their talented students. Please encourage your aspiring artists to submit their creations!
