Welcome to Week 2 of the Kane County Regional Office of Education’s High School Student Photography Contest! Each week the diversity of themes and styles makes looking through the submitted photos so entertaining.

This week, we saw 110 photos from 11 local high schools submitted ranging from city landscapes, fall foliage, delicious food, and more! This is the most photos ever submitted in one week, and the momentum is growing. This week saw submissions from Aurora Central Catholic, Aurora Christian, Bartlett, Batavia, Dundee-Crown, East Aurora, Hampshire, Kaneland, St. Charles North, St. Edwards Central Catholic, and West Aurora.

Public and private high school teachers are encouraged to get involved and submit their students’ work to Mike Ademe at the Kane County Regional Office of Education. Check out the top 10 photos of the week below!
