from 10 a.m. until midnight when the stage lights finally dimmed,

Sobrato High School media production teacher Gary Harmon, is
facilitating 200 or so students this summer who are working with

“It’s a unique program, I believe the only one of its kind in the country that actually puts students to work on these projects and pairs them with professionals. The students have been really overwhelmed with the access they’ve had to these people and even though they might be a bit star-struck, they have been true professionals,” Harmon said. This is the first time ARTTEC has partnered with Montalvo.
