Walking through the halls at the junior high students see various works of art such as paintings, murals, collages and student art along walls and in cases. Since the junior high opened numerous paintings and other art pieces have been added to the junior high walls to add some color and creativity to the school. Many of these pieces of art you see were done by past and present students in various art clubs and classes such as the Community Inspired Arts Club, or CIA. Even into this year more art pieces have been added to the schools halls. Here are a few that many students see day to day traveling from class to class. John King an art teacher and the community inspired arts club helped in the making of many of these paintings gave information about each and when it was added to the school.
This collage of various photos from Harvest day this year and last year as well as several photos form the newspaper website were used to form our school logo. The idea was from former teacher at the Junior High Mr. Klingamen and was completed and added to the school hallway this year, it is located near the main entrance.

Photo by Emily SimmonsWhen the junior high was built this was the first painting added to the school and was also painted by the CIA club. “It was added to the school around 4-5 year ago and was the very first painting the CIA club did that was added to the school,” King said. Photo by Emily SimmonsThis was a project by a ninth grade 3D design class and Mr. King decided to put them all together in the hallway to make one big piece of art. This piece of art can be found above the lockers in the ninth grade hallway near the art class rooms. “We took pieces of wood to make them then spray painted them to make them look like metal.” Students whose projects are featured are Teiha Weaver, Dian Reihart, Ruby McFadden, Taylor Haddock, Kierra Blanset, Phillip Shwartz, Kateyln Cover,Bailey Forshot, Kaila Clawson and Brandon Good.
