Creative. Empowered. Fearless.
The Creators
A High School Creative Team Experience in Iola, Kansas
Where confidence, creativity, and community come together.
Some students blend in.
Some create.
The Creators is a year-long creative community for high school students in Iola, Allen County, and across Southeast Kansas who want more than ordinary senior pictures.
More confidence.
More connection.
More intention.
This is where creativity meets character.
Where leadership grows naturally.
Where students don’t just show up — they become.
Hosted by April Kroenke Photography in downtown Iola, Kansas.
Two Tracks. One Intentional Culture.
UNDERCLASS CREATORS
Freshmen – Juniors | Southeast Kansas
Confidence doesn’t start senior year.
It starts now.
Underclass Creators is designed for high school students from Iola, Humboldt, Crest, Yates Center, Chanute, Garnett, Burlington, and surrounding Southeast Kansas communities.
Offered in two seasonal teams:
✦ Spring + Summer
✦ Fall + Winter
Students may choose one season — or participate in both.
Enrollment per season is intentionally structured to preserve connection and experience quality.
This is where identity begins taking shape — before senior year arrives.

This is senior year curated — not rushed
