Photo History
Photo History is a year-long course where you can earn a total of 10 elective credits. Over the course of the school year, we will learn several composition techniques and apply them to subjects around our campus and on a field trip to the zoo. About one-third of our time will be spent outside working on composition and other assignments throughout the year. We will also learn the basics of Photoshop and how to edit and print photos for competitions where students can win prizes for taking the most unique photo in a variety of composition categories.
Hospitality Club
The hospitality club is made up of students from our culinary classes. The club prepared and sold tasty items at the Spring Music and Arts Festival. These students all have food handlers cards, which they obtain in the classroom and have the opportunity to help prepare and serve food to many campus activities including school dances, festivals, club fair, and our onsite restaurant The Coral where students take orders and prepare food for our teachers and staff.
