Hello! I'm Monte Carman, the lead educator and driving force behind the dynamic Multimedia Communications program at Southwest Career and Technical Academy, commonly known as Southwest Tech. With a passion for animation and a commitment to cutting-edge multimedia education, I dedicate myself to nurturing the next generation of creative talents. 

My Journey in Multimedia and Animation

My journey in multimedia has been a blend of artistic exploration and technical mastery. As a teacher of animation, I revel in unlocking the potential in each student, guiding them through the intricate world of digital storytelling and visual effects. My classroom is a canvas where creativity meets technology, and every project is an adventure. 

My role extends beyond the traditional classroom, as an advisor for Technology Students Association (TSA), I mentor students harnesssing technolgy for problem solving and leadership. Our TSA chapter at Southwest CTA, which can be followed at @swctatsa on Instagram, is a testament to our students' passion and ingenuity

In addition, I proudly coach our Competitive Gaming Club, which is our Coyote eSports team. Gaming is more than a pastime for us; it's about teamwork, strategy, and quick thinking. We are the 2023 High School National Champions in Splatoon 3, and our team last year captured $6000 in scholarship money as well as bringing home a several great trophies in our first year of competition.
