What can you create with 100 of the same object? 📸

Art 2: Photography students explored that question by creating temporary installations and documenting them through photography. Using the Art Cycle—brainstorm, experiment, practice, critique, revise and reflect—they considered how materials, location, lighting and interaction with people could shape their work.

After photographing their installations, students discussed how the elements of art could strengthen abstract ideas and communicate meaning. This hands-on project challenged them to see everyday objects and familiar spaces in creative new ways!

CVHS senior Apollo Tan strikes gold once again in Korea! 🥇

This year, the taekwondo athlete began competing in the Adult Under 30 Individual Recognized Poomsae division for athletes ages 18–30. Last month, he earned bronze at the 2026 USA Taekwondo National Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina. He then traveled to Seoul, South Korea, for the World Taekwondo-ranked 2026 Kimunyong Cup—and won gold!

Apollo competed in a field of 54 athletes representing more than 10 countries. Four of his five opponents were Korean, and he was the only non-Korean athlete in his division to reach the podium.

Congratulations, Apollo, on this incredible international achievement! We are so proud of you!
