Virginia High Schoolers Visit SGIA for Hands-On Instruction

Students in the Graphic Communications program at the C.S. Monroe Technology Center in Leesburg, Virginia, had the chance to visit the SGIA headquarters in nearby Fairfax for a day of hands-on training. The 11th and 12th graders follow a curriculum focused on graphics software, print layout, and graphics theory, but their hands-on experience is limited.
