My students learn through real-life, authentic experiences that grow them as amazing and motivated producers and artists. We are a creative arts magnet school in the heart of downtown. Every student in our school is introduced to different paths of art from sculpture to dance to theatre, digital arts (3D printing, audio production, photography), creative writing, literary publishing, and instrumental and vocal music.
Our students are incredibly talented and focused on their development as scholars and artists.
We are diverse and dedicated to our academic and artistic growth as well as our school community. Arts are a very real part of our students' identities and purpose. Our students are, quite simply, amazing.
My Project
Our school's "Genius Squad" is a unique team of students specially trained in technology repair, integration, and instruction. These students help fix student devices, teach lessons with teachers in the classroom, and create tools for staff and students to use to further their knowledge and use of technology.
"Geniuses" are responsible, educated, kind, and supportive.
They are also good at what they do, which keeps them involved in the school community before and after hours. Before school, students come in to staff the help desk and get things ready for the day. After school, they are creating, tutorials, lessons, and our weekly feature show, Creative Times. They also attend and record performances, gallery openings, and other events for the school community.
These t-shirts will ensure that students are recognized as someone who can help, and also add credibility to their presence at events. it also unifies the squad as a community group.
