View the extraordinary St. Theresa School Modernism Projects on display in the corridor outside the school's classrooms. This year the sixth-grade class will exhibit scale models of key buildings and homes designed by Donald Wexler, FAIA, renowned Palm Springs Modern architect. Alongside the models see thoughtful paintings depicting Donald Wexler's designs created by the seventh-grade class. Students will be on hand to share and discuss their projects.

St. Theresa School Modernism Projects are made possible by a partnership with Palm Springs Modern Committee's Education Committee. This non-profit organization conducts in-class instruction and workshops. Gary Wexler, son of Donald Wexler, has generously provided special instruction focused on the architect's important body of work, primarily in Palm Springs. To assist the students, PS ModCom donates educational tools on the topic of Modernism, including books, maps, and a Palm Springs Modern Architecture mobile application.
