Through vivid colors and expressive lines, Shi Hardin's portfolio explores a wide range of addictions ranging from sugar, caffeine, and substance abuse. Their work offers a poignant reflection on the destructive power of dependency, also hinting at the possibility for healing.

Celia Mendez-Crowder's portfolio intricately weaves together the celestial allure of the moon with self-discovery. She explores themes of being lost, navigating who she is, and gaining insight and creativity.

Had an amazing time at the JCPS theatre conference! My students absolutely shined in their musical theatre and Shakespeare classes. They performed two scenes and received a standing ovulation! Proud theatre director moment! 🎭 #JCPS #pantherslead @JCPSKY @HudsonMiddleS
