September Coachella Valley Spotlight recipient: Cathedral City High School
The September Coachella Valley Spotlight recipient is Cathedral City High School.
The funds from the $25,000 grant, provided by the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, will be used for improvements to the ceramics department. The school expects to purchase a new, energy-efficient kiln for students to use. It will also produce pieces quicker than the current 20-year-old unit. All other funds will be allocated toward additional classroom materials.
Cathedral City High School opened in 1991. The visual arts department is led by five teachers, including Nan Burlingame, who runs the ceramics program. Burlingame says the program allows students to develop their own style though their 3-dimensional artwork.
