After taking a peek at the backstage view of the internet, students learn HTML code, Adobe Dreamweaver and Photoshop, and dabble in basic CSS. But, this class isn’t just about coding ugly pages, a great deal of time is spent learning design principles (ingredients to making stuff look good). Web Design Students are working to free the world of web sites that suck.
Prerequisite: Typing speed of 20 wpm (or much more)
Digital Media 1, taught by Mr. Cox
What do a Monster Truck Rally Commercial, a Hitalia T-Shirt Design, and a 3 Minute Personal Documentary on all the boys you have broken up with have in common? They are projects you’ll create while learning Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Premiere, and Flash! Industry Awesome Products from Adobe are the core tools used throughout the year. “This is so cool! I made my own _______!” Just fill in the blank with practically anything. Digital Media 1A focuses on Print & Screen Media and using Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Audition. Digital Media 1B is all about Making Funny Cat Videos, Posting said Cat Videos, and forcing your fellow classmates to endure watching your Cat Videos (no actual cats are needed to make a cat video).
Prerequisites: Enjoy laughing at yourself and Mr. Cox
Digital Media 2 (MTV3), taught by Mr. Cox
Help create a weekly broadcast of school highlights, sportscasting, funny commercials, and randomly censored videos. Team - team - team: Enjoy working alone? I guess I can use you to edit videos, but every video creation is part of a team project. Dream it - Sketch it - Film it - Edit it - laugh. In that order, please.
Prerequisites: Digital Media 1 or sign-off from the teacher
Yearbook, taught by Mr. Cox
“The fire was coming so fast I barely had time to get into my house and grab my yearbooks,” - (actual quote from a mom in California after her home burned to the ground in a wildfire.) Put all your schooling to use in one giant project - enjoy writing? photography? marketing? editing? designing? teamwork? or the power to cautiously interrupt classes during 2nd period? Yearbook is not just for a class for all the cool kids anymore! There’s room for nerds who love Typography and want to show off their Photoshop Skills.
Prerequisites: Spell Correctly and Be Able to Meet Deadlines, Application Required
Financial Literacy, taught by Mrs. Sutherland, Mrs. Wing, & Mr. Bearnson.
The best class you have to take. Your parents are really excited for you to take this class so you don’t screw up your money and move back into their basement. We’ll talk about your unrealistic plans for the future, tracking your money through a budget, and protecting your assets. Other highlights include the high stakes stock market simulation, cut throat monopoly, and the best PowerPoint on credit cards you’ve ever seen! You can take this your junior or senior year but can also take FIN 1050 to fulfill the credit.
Prerequisites: None
FIN 1050, taught by Mr. Kammerman
This course fulfills your Financial Literacy requirement plus gives you some college credit too. You’ll learn about the money mistakes adults too often make and are ashamed to tell you about. Our goal is to get you headed in the right direction so you don’t end up living in a van down by the river...unless your goal is to live in a van down by the river then we’ll teach you how to get approved for a loan to purchase the van, insure the van properly, and plan your estate so your cats can enjoy the van someday.
Fees: SLCC Application fee and college text book
Prerequisites: None
Economics, taught by Mrs. Sutherland
This class focuses on the economy in single pieces and wants to know "why". Ferris Bueller and every other high school student are still figuring out the more important questions of life, like: when will my parents buy me a car? how can I get a date? What’s that weird smell coming the 1300 hallway? Take Economics and become the next great philosophers like Socrates, Frank Lloyd Wright, Bono, or Aeropostale and learn how the world works.
Accounting 1, taught by Mr. Bearnson
There’s three types of people in this world: those who can count and those cannot. Can you add and subtract? Does starting off at $60,000 a year sound like a good plan? This might be the most financially lucrative math/business class that you will ever take. And by the way, this could be your CTE, Elective, or last Math Credit you ever take.
Accounting 2 taught by Mr. Bearnson
In Accounting 1 you learned how to crawl, eat, breathe, and talk Accounting. Now it’s time to take those skills to the next level and actually do accounting “stuff”. Sadly this Italian will not be teaching you how to cook the books, but you could probably just google how to do that. Many students who finish Accounting 2 go on to work as bookkeepers and get paid $14 - $16/ hour while sitting in a comfy office while their buddies are flipping burgers down the road for half the amount. #math=money
Prerequisites: Accounting 1 (You didn’t really think this class was that easy to get into?)
MKTG 1030, taught by Mr. Kammerman
When Nike was just starting out in 1971 they asked Carolyn Davidson, a college student, to design a logo for the company. Carolyn came up with the iconic Swoosh, which is featured on 120 million shoes each year and is one of the most recognized logos in the world. What did Carolyn receive? A check for $35. In addition to learning random stories like this students will explore real life case studies, create promotional campaigns, and watch hours of some pretty awesome commercials. The best part will be finding out what cool examples Kammerman found on Twitter last night.
