On Sunday, June 9, Bryan Snyder, along with art teachers from Carlsbad High School and Sage Creek High School, completed a congratulatory mural for the 2020 high school graduates.
Snyder, a graduate from CHS, reached out to Kelly Foulk and Megan Herrick, both art teachers at both of the local high schools and fellow CHS alumni, with an idea and invitation to collaborate on a creative gift to the seniors.
“The project from early design stages to the finished mural came together extremely fast,” Snyder said. “We knew we wanted to include specific colors for each CUSD high school accompanied with a focused congratulatory message—we were painting on the wall before we knew it.”
The mural was completed after two days of painting by Snyder, Carlsbad High School art teachers Kelly Foulk and Krista Oliver King and Sage Creek High School art teachers Megan Herrick, Sierra Therese and Cathryn Burroughs, along with help from other visiting teachers and community members.
“These kids have had an unfortunate senior year missing out on the traditional celebrations of things like grad night, prom and the ceremonial walk,” Snyder said. “We wanted to give them something unique—something they will always remember.”
Graduating seniors are encouraged to visit the Carlsbad Art Wall mural located at Señor Grubby’s in the Carlsbad Village.

This is fantastic! What a wonderful tribute to all of the graduates of Carlsbad. Congrats to the grads!
CONGRATULATIONS to the CLASS of 2020!!!
I can say that I have forgotten some graduations I have attended in the past, even my own, but the CLASS of 2020 I will NEVER forget and students should be proud of themselves that even with all the challenges that they have had to endure, they DID IT. You are an amazing group!
What a beautiful and thoughtful art display from the teachers. You are one of a kind!
