About the Project

2024 Cohort

The Duke class is called Documentary Photography: Education, Childhood and Growth. Each Duke student spent the fall semester documenting one story, either about a pathway, a student, or a group of students. Duke students produced one of these audio-visual slide shows as well as large final prints for a public exhibit for the students, families, and staff. The website and all prints were all donated to the school as a gift. The students want to lend their support for the hard work teachers and staff put in every day to educate the children of Durham.

We are grateful to everyone at Lakewood Elementary: the many teachers, staff, students and parents! Thank you for letting us Focus on Lakewood!
