Heritage High School – Photojournalism

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students will improve their photography skills and develop their vision as photographers while they plan, make, and edit photos for presentation in both digital and print formats. Students will be required to take photos both in and out of school for project assignments. As part of the journalism program, students will learn and practice interview techniques, journalistic writing, page layout, and design techniques.

This course can be used to satisfy the technology applications credit. Materials fee required for this course. Math pathways do not follow a set sequence.

There are many factors involved in students’ course decisions and counselors and math teachers are your best source of guidance. These pathways are for reference purposes only. Traditional Pathway
