🌟 Grow Our Own Spotlight: Amelia Goodwin & Morgan McCray 🌱 Meet Amelia Goodwin (rising senior) and Morgan McCray (rising junior), two talented Oscar Smith High School students who joined our Department of Communications this summer through the Grow Our Own program! Amelia explored her interest in graphic design and social media publishing by learning new editing software, operating professional cameras, and developing her photography skills. She loved traveling to schools, WTKR News 3, and our annual Empower Leadership Conference to document events.
Morgan joined to gain work experience, technical skills, and insight into workplace professionalism. She enjoyed video editing, taking photos at the Empower Leadership Conference, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at Coast Live.
Both Amelia and Morgan exceeded expectations, producing amazing content and making a real impact on our communications work. We are so proud of all they accomplished!
