Photography is more than taking pictures. It is about telling stories, capturing emotion, and seeing the world from a different perspective. In this episode, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Central High School photography teacher Roxanne Rathbun and graduating senior Kennedy Block to talk about the power of photography in public education.
The conversation explores how students develop creative skills through photography, the importance of perspective, and how a partnership with the Rapid City Post is giving students real world journalism experience. Kennedy shares how her work photographing sports led to published articles and a new role as a freelance photographer and journalist after graduation.
From double exposure photography and dream photo destinations to the impact great teachers have on students’ lives, this episode highlights how public schools help students turn their passions into future careers. It is a story about creativity, mentorship, and the opportunities that happen when educators believe in their students.
