New In-plant Blends Education With Production

A Focus on Education

This school year Crews is teaching two introductory classes and two advanced classes to ninth- and tenth-grade students. This follows a successful second semester of courses the previous school year and a summer work program.

To make sure his students are serious about graphic arts, Crews hand picks them after an interview, limiting each class to 13 students. Those in the advanced classes are responsible for printing many of the items needed by the district's 14 schools, from stationery and calendars to student handbooks and teachers' manuals. They even print the four-color brochures that departments use to recruit students into their programs. Their work carries the proud statement "Printed by Lufkin High School graphic arts students."
