The Graphic Communications Program is crafted to bring students through the process of design creation to final production. Students are provided with the skills to develop visual designs using the latest software and to produce those designs on the industry standard technology. We provide students the opportunity to work in nine different areas in the Graphic Communications field as well as opportunity to create their own conceptual designs using the Adobe Creative Suite. We also give students the opportunity to utilize digital camera equipments and edit their own photographs in Adobe Photoshop for use in their projects. In our traditional offset department, students are able to learn how to operate printing presses from a single color duplicator to a four-color press. Students also have the ability to operate digital presses in a quick print area. In our apparel section, students can produce embroidery clothing as well as both digital and manual screen printing. They will also learn the process of Thermal Printing for both apparel and sign processes. Within our overall program, we provide all aspects of the Graphic Communications industry through our experiential curriculum. Seniors will have the ability to develop a professional portfolio that will give them an advantage in the Graphic Communication field, upon graduation.

The Graphic Communications Program reinforces English, math and science, while challenging students' problem-solving abilities.
