Katy Stone
Middle & Upper School Visual Arts
Katy Stone teaches photography in the Upper School and sixth grade art in the Middle School. She particularly enjoys working with students on environmental impact projects, portraits and final portfolios. 
“I love the students’ enthusiasm and the small class sizes,” says Stone. “I am lucky to have the ability to provide students with endless resources. CWA has a state-of-the-art darkroom, which is bigger than most professional darkrooms.”
“I am the perfect example of the student-teacher bond at Charles Wright. Miles Struxness was my photography teacher when I attended CWA. Miles called me six years after I graduated from here and asked me to come back and teach photography. It was because of my great experiences here that I did so with no hesitation.”
She has also served Charles Wright as a tutor and yoga instructor. As a student, she was the school’s first and only homecoming queen.
“I hope that my students remember me as a passionate teacher who was able to get them excited and addicted to a form of photography that is quickly becoming forgotten,” says Stone. “It was also be nice to be remembered as the ‘coolest’ teacher!”
Stone volunteers with the Two Waters Art Alliance on the Key Peninsula. She is a professional artist and also enjoys horseback riding and painting.
