What is the CADD/COMM Academy?
The CADD/COMM Academy is a technology driven program with two academic pathways: Computer Aided Drafting/Design and Digital Communications. CADD students learn the fundamentals of both architectural and mechanical CADD, experience a hands-on engineering lab and create animated 3D (3 dimensional) models. Communication students explore digital animation, video production, broadcasting, and 3D animation. Advanced students create: live video productions, 3D interactive games, and academic and school-wide service projects. All academy students also share the same core classes of English and Social Studies. This allows students to use their technology skills and knowledge towards mastering the standards in both these subjects. Students also complete projects that bridge these classes as well as their technology class. Students are also grouped into Academy Advocacy classes. These half hour classes meet every Thursday and allow students to hear about upcoming events and build relationships be
