Previous Story: Congratulations to Hixson High and their online voters.

The school has made the finals of the Vans Custom Culture Competition shoes contest.

They asked students to decorate a pair of their shoes using multiple categories.

Then they put the entries up for an online vote plus their own experts.

Vans announced the final five, which includes the Hixson students.

This means the school gets a custom gift plus $10,000 for arts programs.

And they are still in the running for the $75,000 top prize.

Vans will make that announcement next week.
