Graphic Design: STAAR Posters using Photoshop

On March 2nd, RYSS JROTC went to the Bluebonnet Competition at Chavez High

School to compete with other schools. The groups that competed were the

Color Guard Team, the Rifle Team, and the Physical Training (PT) Team and each

team included a group of boys and girls. Even through difficulties during the

morning of competition, they were able to complete each challenge

successfully. We are very proud of our Panther cadets!

Thank you teachers and staff for allowing Graphic

Design students to use your images for our Super

STAAR Avenger posters!
