When we initially reached out to high school instructors about highlighting photography in Kane County Connects, we never imagined that we would receive almost 600 photo submissions from 10 high schools in nine short weeks. The Kane County Regional Office of Education and Kane County Connects thanks everyone who has been involved and worked diligently to showcase the talent of our student artists and the instruction they receive from our educators.

Congratulations to Jacob Orlando for winning the final featured photo for the Kane County High School Photography Initiative Fall 2014.
