Well, hey there Elvis Presley! AP studio Class at Parkway South High School. Fun fact - I lived in Memphis, TN for 5 years, and attended Memphis college of art, which is now the @metalmuseum

Yas 👏

Representing class of 2013!

Mr. Ludlow invited me back to motivate his class of students to fine-tune the craft, the portfolio, and more.

Ran into the lovely Shannon Mitchell! This teacher helped me in so many ways I wish I could repay her for everything she did!

Mr. Steve everyone! One of the great teachers Parkway South has!

…and let’s not forget @drewilhelm13 the most amazing assistant principle at P-SOUTH. I will always be a patriot proud alumni! 👩‍🎓 by @kaelix_fx
