We are excited to spotlight Christina Speace, member of the Academy Park High School class of 2004! 🌟
After graduating, Christina began working at the University of Pennsylvania, where she gained valuable professional experience while exploring her interests. During that time, she attended evening trade school for graphic design, balancing long days of work with classes several nights a week.
That determination led to a position with Barksdale School Portraits, where Christina has now worked for more than 15 years and now serves as a portal coordinator supporting schools with data, IDs, certificates, and yearbook resources.
We are proud to celebrate Christina’s journey and the example she sets through hard work and perseverance! 💙
