New Graphic Communications

Program Unveiled at SCVTHS

The merging of the programs began with a 

renovation and physical move of the Commercial 

Art classroom which is now located next door to 

the Print Shop. With the move accomplished, the 

time was right to combine the Commercial Art 

and Printing Programs into one Graphic 

Communications Program.

been updated so that all Graphic Communications 

students will be given instruction focused on 

the business aspects of the industry. More 

specifically, students will learn how to balance 

budgets, take and complete orders, manage jobs 

and time, service customers, and meet deadlines. 

To accomplish this goal students will become 

project managers as they create production 

schedules, follow through with customers, and 

see entire projects from inception to completion 

as they interact with the public.

An important addition to the new Graphic 

Communications Program is the new production 

room, located between the two instructional areas. 

This production area will be used by students to 

take orders for in-house projects such as brochures, 

flyers, and posters, as well as teacher-approved jobs 

from outside community organizations.

The students will certainly be busy this 

school year as their instructors ensure that 

they will be well-prepared and given a taste for 

real-world working conditions.
