Insight Into DHS’s Graph X Class, Projects They Do, And The Behind-The-Scenes Of What A Day In The Class Looks Like
PHOTOGRAPHED BY JUAN MORALES-LEVERETT AND ELISABETH TRINKLE
Have you ever wondered what the big room full of machines on the first floor is used for, or where things from the school store come from? Graph-X is a class run by Mr. Dennis Stockwell where students do a variety of things that include screen printing, poster printing, making vinyl decals, making things for the school store, and filling various orders for people in the community.
“We sit down to have a meeting about what needs to get done,” said junior Aubrey McLean, breaking down what an average day looks like. “Everyone goes and does their own projects that they are working on.”
For senior Elizabeth Young, making T-shirts for various student groups is one of the more enjoyable jobs.
“If you are a part of a club and would like T- shirts or anything of that sort, you can contact us and we can design and make it for you guys,” Young said.
