Soar to the Future, 2021

About the Artwork

Soar to the Future by artist Lisa Stirrett is one of four cast glass eagle sculptures, framed in steel. The artworks welcome students at the school's main entrance. The eagles symbolize long life, strength, and empowerment. Each eagle includes different imagery that represents the area of Quincy in Central Washington which has a large Hispanic community (more than half of the local population). This eagle includes the American flag and Mexican serape blanket patterns, representing unity.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Quincy School District.
