OUR MISSION + VISION
Design, Media &
Visual Arts
Here at HBHS PHOTO & DESIGN, we aim to act based upon our motto “DEFINING THE GRAY”. To us it means to transcend the line between the black and white worlds of student and professional production, blending the two into our work, defining the grey made by doing so. It is our goal to produce professional grade work and product, through the hands. minds, and efforts of our students.
We will hope to expand upon this motto in coming years furthering our level of production and success. HBHS Photo & Design is proud to introduce a program that integrates the study of U.S. History with Social Media and Digital Design to explore how visual communication and design is a part of all aspects of the modern world.
Ornamental Horticulture / ROP Farm to Fork
This course is designed to give students a hands on experience in urban agriculture and organic gardening techniques. We will be exploring a variety of topics relating to agriculture including problems and solutions to how we grow food in this country and around the world. Other topics covered include hydroponics, vertical gardening, composting, vermiculture, landscape design, recycling, urban farm management, marketing, sales, and business planning. Another major component of the course is our aquaponics system, where we will be raising fish and plants together in a symbiotic, closed loop system. We will look at alternatives to the industrial food production system and examine how we can grow food year round using organic methods that is better for our bodies, the economy, our community, and the environment. Most of our class time will be spent in our high tech, urban farm which will serve not only as our outdoor classroom, but will also operate as a student run business. Students will not only learn everything there is to know about organic agriculture, but also how to pursue a career in the field.
