The works below have been created in the Graphic Communications class by the students at the Dickinson-Iron Technical Education Center in Kingsford, Michigan. Students come to the Tech Center from eight local Michigan and Wisconsin high schools.
*This school year was non-standard, ending with remote learning; because of this, fewer completed student works were collected resulting in a limited portfolio shown below.
