Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, approximately 250 students annually will have the chance to consider the opportunities education affords them. At the same time, the community at large will be able to consider the educational successes of the past. Evaluation will occur through regular check-ins with the artists who are leading the experience. Once school resumes in the fall, the work of students that is going to be incorporated into the project will also be evaluated on an ongoing basis.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The mural has become a visual focal point not only for the students that attend the school, but also the many adult visitors.
