My Project

I have brought photography back to EHS after the darkroom closed down. I created a digital photography program, slowly purchasing cameras and a few tripods over the years. This has become a popular class and we now fill four photography classes a year with around 30 students each. Sadly, I was only able to purchase a small 4" x 6" printer. I am trying to make it possible for my students to print large format prints to exhibit their work. When we exhibit work locally, many other schools have large prints to exhibit. I want to give my students the same confidence and ability to compete on the same level as their peers. Our students are special because of their diversity: The total minority enrollment is 66%, and 55% of students are economically disadvantaged.
