Congratulations to Shye Biddle on her 2012 spring/summer job at Morehead Marketing and Graphic Design.

Thanks to Benjamin Leichty who made an art career visual presentation to students throughout the day on March 6.  He is a high school representative for the Art Institutes and showcased graphic design, video and animation, photography, drawings, paintings...etc. from college students attending their programs in Indianapolis, Chicago and throughout the United States.  He made important connections to the work students are currently doing in Oak Hill's visual arts program.
