English 10 Honors, English 11 and Yearbook teacher Brandon Keller has photos of writers, framed by artificial greenery. Keller drew inspiration from a previous professor. “I saw that and wanted to mimic it in my classroom.”

Brandon Keller’s room features student artwork. He chose to do this because of fond memories he had as a student in classrooms with art. “I wanted my room to be one that looked good and was both eye-catching and intriguing,” Keller said.

World History and AP Art History teacher Lisa Tellers hangs decorations from her ceiling. The lemons and flowers reminded her of her trip to a restaurant in Italy.

Lisa Tellers fills her room with Halloween patterns and colors. Tellers put the decorations up to boost festivity and the classroom mood.

Math 2/3 Honors teacher Kristina DeVico has several analog clocks in her room, each frozen in place and telling a different time. DeVico explained that the clocks symbolize how in honors math classes, students feel like they are on a time crunch, but in reality, the stress is all in their heads.

The butterflies hanging from Kristina DeVico’s ceiling represent the evolution of teenagers. They were handmade by DeVico’s past students.

Posters of music artists and bands like Nirvana, Queen and ACDC line the walls of AP World History, Socio-Political History of Rock-N-Roll and Surf PE teacher Austin Wade’s classroom. He hung them to show who he is as a person. “I wanted to share the interests and things that I enjoy, and hopefully ideas, concepts and interests that students might have in common,” Wade said.

Various flags, including the United Farm Workers flag, the Progress Pride flag and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe flag, hang in Austin Wade’s classroom. He chose to do this so his room would be a living artifact. “Many the flags I have represent concepts and ideas that I teach in my US History and Rock ‘n’ Roll history classes.”

English 10 Honors and English 11 teacher Cameron Martin fills the walls with items from his personal life story. Martin wanted to inspire his students to embrace and express their true selves.

Cameron Martin adorns his classroom with a variety of paraphernalia related to his personal life. Pop culture characters were sprinkled around the shelves such as an Aggretsuko plushie (left), Sally Sewing Funko Pop (bottom left) and Ariel figure (bottom middle).
