Carol Creighton
This is my twelfth year of teaching at Manteca High. I taught Multimedia, Sports Media and Intro to Digital Photo for the first eight years of my career. For the past four school years I have taught both Intro and Advanced Digital Photo. I love sharing my passion for photography with my students. My goal is to teach them to see the world around them through a different lens.
Jeffrey Harvey
As a student at Manteca High, I was lucky enough to have an art teacher who inspired me to continue to improve and really pursue art. That led me to a career illustrating children's books, comic books, board games, and more projects than I can remember. I hope that coming back as a teacher I can do the same for the students that come into my classroom.
