All of our art classes were co-taught this semester by guest artist Victor Dandridge and art teacher Rachel Prince using Mr. Dandridge's curriculum VIS-U-ALL. Our students benefited from this curriculum that focused on media arts, social media, graphic design, personal branding and creativity, and more. The arts came alive in and out of our art classrooms and even made connections with our technology pathway classes. We are incredibly grateful for this important public recognition and funding.
