From TV to radio broadcast, graphic design and photography, the arts are front and center.
"It's one of the reasons why I come to school," said photography student Juan Tumas, who showed us a photo he took of a bee pollinating a flower. "I had to get real close since I could not zoom in. And I was kind of afraid they would sting me. But I was able to take the picture."

Film is another area of study. Elissa Earls says she has found her passion in the art.
"I love how you can capture any moment at anytime with the camera," said Earls.
Earls showed us a PSA she and other students produced to raise awareness of cyberbullying. She said the project only got her even more excited about coming to school and the art of communication.
"So those are the skills that I think can transfer into any field that they want to go into" said Brown.
