Two Croswell-Lexington High School students were awarded Tuesday for their impressive photography skills. Michaela Faass and Emily Burgess took first and second place, respectively, in a contest put on by the designer of the new high school. Dan Jerome of French and Associates presented the students with certificates and gift cards of $250 for first place and $50 for second. Michaela said she was “ecstatic” when she found out she won the contest and was “proud to have run against such talented students who also did an amazing job.”
Instead of asking a professional photography company to take promotional pictures of the new facility for his company, Mr. Jerome said he knew the students would do a phenomenal job.
He wasn’t disappointed. Said Emily of her unique angle at the contest: “It was difficult taking pictures of a building, so I tried to incorporate as many people in the pictures as possible.”
Principal Theo Kerhoulas said it was important to Croswell-Lexington Community Schools to hire an architect firm that would involve students in the design phase of the new and improved high school. He added that French and Associates fit the bill perfectly and sought out student opinion and feedback every step of the way.
Principal Kerhoulas said he was proud of the Pioneers involved. “French designed a flexible collegiate space at Croswell-Lexington that transforms with the needs of our 21st Century learners,” Kerhoulas said. “Our students did a fantastic job capturing this in their photography.”
