"The kids. Hundred percent the kids," said artist Neo Medina. "Tonight's their night you know they're the stars. That's what this is for -- you know, highlighting folks that don't get that type of recognition. Just to see them shine, see them reap the benefits of all their hard work, this moment is what I've been waiting for."

Students received class credit and a $400 stipend for successfully completing the mural.
