    Students selected for this course learn various techniques in taking and developing photographs. A primary goal is to provide pictures for the yearbook and newspaper, but staffers will also get a chance to partake in many photography contests and workshops. The average assignments send our photographers backstage at plays, to the sidelines of games and even to the front of our assemblies. All students will have the opportunity to write captions (in AP style) and move up in responsibility and growth. This class will build your portfolio!
