Claudette De La Garza, Photographer
In her final year of high school, Claudette De La Garza joined Downey high’s Newspaper as a photographer. Alongside being a photographer, she is also the vice president of the Downey High Writing Center and is a part of the Femineers. With her mother being her biggest role model, Garza continues to push through to do her absolute best.

“I love to be able to express myself through both music and photography,” Garza said.“ It has always been so amazing to me to think that no one picture or song can ever be the same, as everyone has their own perspective and style!”
