MACA is unique, and its location in a rural community proves that it doesn't take a big city to administer a high quality technology environment.
(MCMINNVILLE, Ore.) - On June 10th, The Media Arts & Communications Academy in McMinnville, Oregon recognized student achievements in a special annual event that displays the student's best work.
Principal Laurie Cooper
Laurie Cooper, the school's principal, explains that the evening is something they all look forward to each year.
"Tonight's our second annual 'Media that Matters' Technology Festival. It is a showcase of our student's work. They've been working on this stuff all year and then at the end of the year they pick their best pieces and they enter in eight categories."
Journalism Teacher Heather Paton says she is sold on the school, and on the level of progress she has seen.
"A student walked through the doors tonight with a t-shirt that said 'MACA Evolution' that he designed himself. And I thought, 'how true,' our event has evolved so much in the last year, our students, our school, as a staff, our whole identity is evolving, you can't stop it."
