Fashion Design

Back to CTE


 

   Along with class instruction and projects, students will participate in guest presentations, a field trip and a service learning project.  Students interested in fashion are encouraged to join “Fashion Society" which is a Peninsula ASB student organization.  There is a $35 lab fee to cover the cost of starred projects and help cover the expense of the field trip.  More information on all projects and activities will be given throughout the semester.
