Senior High
Students Handcraft Haunted Houses
The halls in the Senior High this week were adorned with spiderwebs, crows, bones and blood (fake, of course) as students in Mrs. Meader's Housing & Interior Design class spooked students with their handcrafted haunted house creations. As part of the curriculum, Mrs. Meader asked her students--who range from freshmen to seniors--to sketch a haunted house using design principles they learn in the class, describe the housing style, construct a replica of the house, decorate it, and accompany it with a spooky story. Once complete, the houses were displayed in the hallway for students to enjoy and vote for their favorites
