My Project

Please help me share my love of photography with our high school photo student by providing a very valuable and expensive resource- film.

At CGHS we have the biggest darkroom in the county but we lack the resources to get the most out of this meaningful creative experience- film photography!

Students love the darkroom and the magic of using the enlargers, developer, the cameras, in order to keep this program going we need your help.

Please help us keep the art of darkroom printing alive by donating this film and supporting our Visual Arts: Photography program!
