The RHS Architecture students "cultivated" community by redesigning underutilized spaces around Richardson. They presented their visions to the Mayor and RISD Admin. @RISD_CTE #RHSdreambig @RHS_Spotlight @RichardsonISD

[Richardson HS @RichardsonHS1]

At RHS, our CTE teachers are all about making real world connections & giving back to our community! @Ms_Bellone’s class made a difference with our mayor! #RISDDreamBig #RISDGreatness #EaglesElevate #RISDInsiders

A student made reel to showcase the new additions: we now have 11 new benches (including an outdoor classroom) and 2 new swings in the area that will be part of the sensory garden. We are already discussing what's next. Stay tuned! @RichardsonHS1 @RISD_CTE @RichardsonISD

[Laura Bellone Johnson @Ms_Bellone]

Since Freshman year I have been asking Max to create things out of found objects in the classroom. From engineering to architecture he has always met my challenge. For his final senior project he designed a chair for me. @RISD_CTE @RichardsonHS1

Last night my students and I were invited to take part in the #empoweredwomeninstem empower girls panel discussion. We met some wonderful women and made lasting connections. It definitely filled our buckets. #womeninarchitecure @RichardsonISD @RichardsonHS1 @RISD_CTE @aiadallas
