IH has introduced a new social media marketing class led by our three social media coordinators Ms Hernandez-Sanchez, Ms Peebler, and Ms Fendrich. This class can be taken if you have a study hall, and don’t worry if you have a lot of work to catch up on because it would only be one study hall a week.

In this class, you will get an introduction to the world of marketing and communications, develop and strengthen skills in photography, learn graphic design, and even earn course credit! Even if you are not interested in having a career like this in the future, it still can teach you some of those fun skills. I learned about the different settings on a real camera for the first time(and even got a cute picture of a squirrel eating a muffin wrapper)!

When I attended my first meeting I got to see everything I will be learning over the year. The first thing was just a quick introduction to all the school’s socials. I got to see how our Instagram, Tiktok, and Facebook posts are made and the guidelines to making the posts. Then we went over the creative tools used to create the graphics for prospective student events, athletes of the week, game days, and more. We talked a lot about IH’s signature colors and fonts that we use in our posts and what they are called.

Lastly, I got my first assignment! This is to take 10 photos of student life. I may have gone a little overboard at the WALK and taken 25…but I am so proud of how they turned out! I would definitely recommend taking this course and I am so excited to learn!
