Our talented English III and AP Literature students recently completed the Heritage Multi-Genre Project! As part of this meaningful assignment, they interviewed someone they know over the age of 50, wrote a biography capturing their story, and creatively transformed a portion of the interview audio into a compelling short video.
This project celebrates the power of storytelling, connecting generations, and preserving personal histories. Bravo to our students for their incredible work!
