PLI Logo Winner
Congratulations to Ball High School graduate Jaiden Wright for winning the design challenge for the new Powerful Learning Innovators (PLI) program.
Mrs. Haney’s graphic design class was tasked with creating a branding logo for the district’s PLI program. Jaiden’s design will be used on all of the materials and social media for PLI.
“We are so fortunate to have talent like Jaiden’s in this district,” says Haney. Jaiden is currently attending Galveston College for an associate’s degree in art. “Good luck with your future endeavors, we know you will make us proud!”
