The Three Sisters Mural
Lillee Martin
Over the course of a few years, Flagstaff High School has begun decorating its campus with beautiful art. Ranging from the bookshelf mural in the 100 hallway to the aquatic masterpiece in the 500 hallway, it is clear the school is not shying away from incorporating the artistic expression of the student body into the environment of the facility. The most recent masterpiece was created by the team at Terra BIRDS—Flagstaff, Arizona based nonprofit organization collective—as well as a group of around 40 FHS students (biology students in collaboration with members of the Native American Club) and is located in Ms. Musta’s science classroom in the 800 hallway.
