We’re excited to announce an incredible opportunity for those of you interested in exploring creative cluster careers. On April 11th, we’ll be taking the first-ever trip in a series called “The Beyond the Classroom Bus Tour.” This full-day trip will introduce you to a variety of career paths in the creative fields, and we encourage all sophomores and juniors who are curious about these professions to sign up!

Here’s what we have planned:

1. Farmhouse Creative: We’ll kick off the day by visiting Farmhouse Creative, where you’ll learn about careers in podcasting, social media, marketing, graphic design, and branding. It’s an amazing chance to see what goes into building a creative business and digital content.
2. Ball State School of Journalism and Strategic Communication: After that, we’ll head to the Ball State School of Journalism to explore careers in writing, journalism, photography, video, and more. You’ll meet professionals who are shaping the media landscape and get a taste of what a career in communication looks like.
3. David Owsley Museum of Art: Finally, we’ll wrap up the day at the David Owsley Museum of Art, where you’ll learn about careers in art curation, preservation, and education. If you’ve ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into curating exhibits and preserving artwork, this is your chance to find out.

This trip is a great way to discover potential careers that you may not have thought about before, and it’s an opportunity to ask questions and get inspired by industry professionals.

To sign up, please visit Mrs. Swift in Student Services by the end of the school day on Thursday. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Bootcheck or Mrs. Smiley.
