—————————————————-
We, as humans, have not just the ability, but the urge to create. We’ve seen it throughout history: cavemen painting on walls, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, even little kids banging pots and pans together to create music…one could argue the human spirit thrives on creation.
Here at Doherty, there are plenty of opportunities to share what you’ve created, and The Spartan will be no exception to this: The Spartan is now introducing “The Tip of the Spear!”, a place dedicated to sharing the craftsmanship and creativity of Doherty students. We will showcase creative work made by Spartans on the website!
