Junior Prom Reminders
Per school rules, you cannot arrive at prom after 7:00pm. If there are extenuating circumstances that will cause you to be late, you must notify Ms. Dinardo or Ms. Finnegan prior to the day of prom.
Model UN
Art and Fashion
This project was part of the Fashion Design II - Independent Study class. Students were asked to make a garment by manipulating and repurposing old sports equipment. Faculty and staff donated the equipment and students worked to translate it into high fashion apparel.
The two students who worked on the garments were:
Black top made from soccer balls: Natalie Kalman (senior)
Woven Poncho top made from a volley ball net: Julia Graves (junior)
PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs Selection!
We are excited to announce that Alexa D'Amato was selected to attend the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs this summer. We are excited for Alexa and congratulate her on this amazing accomplishment. The official press release is below.
PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs (SRL) has selected 27 up-and-coming storytellers from across the country for its annual summer academy, which will take place at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University in Phoenix from June 23-29 after two years of virtual bootcamps.
In its eighth year, the signature, award-winning academy is a highly-selective, intensive video journalism fellowship for high schoolers. All travel and accommodation costs are covered by the PBS NewsHour.
During the immersive fellowship, fellows will be coached and mentored by SRL youth media producers and work in teams to produce original video news reports. Fellows will learn from industry professionals and meet correspondents, producers and journalists from Arizona PBS, PBS NewsHour West and other local news organizations.
“The unique educational experience connects students to media professionals and teaches vital video journalism, production and communication skills,” says Leah Clapman, SRL founder and executive director of education for the PBS NewsHour.
Beyond video production, fellows engage in conversations about the future of journalism, public media and the most important issues of their generation—an integral part of SRL’s mission. The week will culminate in a showcase, where the cohort will present their work.
