Fall 2014

Projects and Events / Fall 2014

As soon as the year starts the speed of time becomes really REALLY fast. Along with regular classes we have many school and community based projects going on. Our chapter of National Art Honor Society is getting bigger and more diverse all the time.

Given that there are so many things to post, I felt it was best to do a bullet point list with a few high points. For more information on any of these events please see Mr. Johnson or myself.

We are off to an AWESOME start!
