Chapel Hill High School is excited to participate in the interactive Outside the Box Exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta!

Our National Art Honor Society students created an impressive whale shark sculpture measuring 7.5 feet long and 2 feet wide, entirely from cardboard! This incredible piece, along with several other creations by Douglas County students and teachers, will be on display at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta beginning September 5.

A special thank-you to Emily Remmel of Bill Arp Elementary and Keatyn Remmel, Guest Experience Coordinator at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, for providing this amazing opportunity for our students and teachers to showcase their creativity and artistic talents!

We are proud to see Panther creativity beyond the walls of CHHS!
