Senior Georg Reh, a German exchange student, estimates he's spent about 100 hours working on his mural of a Highlander, the school's mascot. The janitorial staff appreciates the art work. Day-time custodian Ann Woodman likes them so much, she requested that the students paint a scene in the janitors' office. Other schools will come here for events, and they're just blown away. They make the school look really nice.
Any student can submit a mural idea.
Preliminary sketches must be approved by a committee of three parents, three teachers and three students. The group decides if the design is appropriate for school. The PTO pays for the project from money donated by the Brighton Target Store. Beattie hopes to expand the project into the school's hallways in upcoming years. As long as the murals' subject matter is appropriate for school, she will let student continue to paint.
