Stephanie Van Horn, CCS Class of 2016
"For 13 years I grew up in those blue and gold halls and discovered my passion for photography. The personal and creative development that I experienced at CCS led me to become a confident and ever-growing artist here in the community today. CCS gifted me with the ability to see the bigger picture—to take a step back and see things from every perspective, under a different light, and through every lens available to me.”
