Advanced ceramic students getting their hands dirty while working on a tile mural for the new Bethel Student Health Center. Each student was assigned a tile that will feature a letter and health related imagery. The new mural is scheduled to be finished before the Health Center’s grad opeingin next fall!
Mural Update
The New mural in locker Bay ‘B’ is really taking shape! Students have been worked with local mural Artist Brandi York on a design for the mural. The Design features a wolverine ripping through a brick wall with the words “Worth, Honor, and Success” in the center. This motto is one that WHS has had for many years, and the art students felt that it was a positive message to display in the hallway. The mural should be finished by the end of the school year. Keep a look out for pictures coming soon!
