Metro High School
Metro High School in St.Louis, Missouri, is renowned for its rich history, exceptional education, and unique approach to personal development. Every year, students complete a minimum of 240 volunteer hours for graduation, sparking a genuine desire to help others in their community.
However, the neglected gym hinders students' athletic growth and deprives the community of a vibrant space for events.
Introducing the "Giving Feels Good" campaign, which celebrates the joy of giving and encourages donations to support the school. By empowering students to thrive and make a difference, together we can create a brighter future for all.
Personal project.

We start with the sounds of a bustling school hallway, with students chatting and lockers slamming, capturing their energy. As the bell rings, James Brown’s song “I Feel Good (I Got You)” starts playing. This time, it’s reworked and sung by a choir of Metro High School students.
