Featured Student

Simone Clark

Simone Clarke loves photography, and she loves animals. While Simone has loaded up on science courses to prepare for a career in veterinary medicine, she has also explored animals through her camera lens. Simone’s eye for animals in nature has resulted in stunning photography, and members of Bishop Lynch’s fine arts department encouraged Simone to participate in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) Fall Photo Contest. 

Simone’s “Harris Sparrow” photo earned an Honorable Mention in the TAPPS 5A-6A Division, Animals Category. She credits BL faculty for showing interest in her photography skills and plans to continue photography as a hobby.
