Tallahassee Classical teacher shapes lesson with printing press Amanda Karioth Thompson The new Tallahassee Classical School opened its doors to students in August and their art teacher, Robert Yorke, wasted no time in outfitting his classroom. He applied for and received an Arts Education Grant from the Council on Culture & Arts. The grant was made possible this year through philanthropic support from the Duke Energy Foundation’s Powerful Communities program. With the grant funds and an additional supplement by the school, Yorke purchased a printing press, a device of epic historical proportions that aligns closely with the school’s liberal arts focus.
