On and off-campus,students participate in projects that make relevant connections between the classroom and the working world of professional designers and architects.
- Shondea Moore (12th grade), Marcia Tollerson (12th grade), Jamal Combs (11th grade) and Terrance Jones (10th grade) are serving as mentors in the Architecture in Education program. Architecture in Education brings architects, landscape architects and other design professionals into classrooms to help young people understand what it takes to make buildings and communities work for the people who live in them.
