Creative Corner
Art
Students have completed projects throughout the district. At Cedar Hill High School, students designed
two murals and a Dr. Seuss painting in the library. Additionally, students created posters for a special
event at Waterford Oaks and made 100 spiral mini-sculptures for the STEAM Extravaganza. Look for future
installations in the front lobby and CHHS counselors’ hallway.
