Arts Panel

One of the many incredible opportunities in our Freshman Academy at MCHS is connecting students directly with industry professionals right here in our community.

To wrap up their week exploring Visual and Performing Arts classes and programming, freshmen heard from an outstanding panel of local creatives and leaders:

  • Nathan Brown – Graphic Artist & Brand Manager, Higdon Outdoors

  • Reid Draper – Production Coordinator, Clemens Fine Arts Center, WKCTC

  • Ben Grimes – Managing Artistic Director, Market House Theatre

  • Emi Hensel – Education Director & Dance Instructor, Market House Theatre

  • Rose Howton – Co-Owner & Music Instructor, Harmony Road

  • Delaney Rogers – MCHS Class of 2016 graduate, Bench Jeweler at Puckett’s Fine Jewelry (Murray)

Students gained valuable insight into creative career pathways, education journeys, and real-world opportunities available in the arts — many right here in our region.

We are grateful for community partners who invest in our students and help them see what’s possible.
