My Project

The program itself is creating a proactive program with real world applications that students can leave straight from High School and will be able to enter a college program with scholarship opportunities or to create their own careers.

The high school has not had a photography class in decades, and it will be a welcome addition to the growing arts department, fulfilling my lifelong goal to be a teacher.

I look forward to educating the students on the importance of Photography and Art in the world. I have already reached out to local artists, photographers, and educators who would love to be a part of this program to teach kids about programs in college and professional jobs that they can look forward to.

As you may know, the arts are GREATLY underfunded here in Oklahoma, and there is no budget for the program. Donations keep programs like this alive and any donation, no matter how big or small, is MASSIVELY appreciated and will go towards furthering education in our school.
