    MISSION 

    To prepare every student for life success through rigorous education and engaging industry and community partners.


    Have you ever questioned why the Hamburger Helper character has four fingers, not five?

    Looked at an advertisement and asked "What are they selling?" 

    In this program your keen eye for detail and your love of graphic arts will be integral as you create commercial designs.  This is not an “art” class where you will draw and paint.  You will work with industry-recognized software and create original graphic designs.

    Industry Certifications to Earn:

    • Adobe Photoshop
    • Adobe InDesign
    • Adobe Illustrator

    Students are often commissioned to take on a variety of design projects in the community.  See our students' work at the Stavros Center and the City of Seminole sign.
