We also want to give a special shout-out to Conner Dempsy:
Design & Illustration: Congratulations to Design & Illustration student Conner Dempsey, who has been selected to attend the prestigious Governor’s Technology & Design Institute this summer at Champlain College. This immersive experience offers hands-on exploration in game design, 3D modeling, cybersecurity, graphic design, programming, and more.
Conner will join a community of students who share his passion for tech and creativity, working in state-of-the-art labs with professional-grade software and hardware. He’ll also be able to earn college credits during this exciting summer program.
We also want to give a shout out to Morgan Beenen and Lily Root!
Design & Illustration and Addison Repertory Theatre: Our students in the Arts, Entertainment, & Design cluster (A.R.T. and Design & Illustration) submitted portfolios for the statewide review. Twelve of our PHCC students earned an Industry Recognized Credential for their portfolio.
Out of the 183 portfolios that were submitted, Morgan Beenen and Lily Root earned credentials from VUHS. Lily earned the third highest score in the state! While there was only a 50% pass rate in the state, A.R.T. had a 100% pass rate, and Design & Illustration had an 80% pass rate — a true testament to the high-level work that our students are doing at the Career Center.
