Students will present campus news and community news through a student-led news production via podcast. The podcast link will be found on the district web page and will be advertised at local businesses. Students from all campuses will be invited to participate as guests on the program to inform listeners about individual campus events and activities. Video clips, photographs and art can be combined to put together a video yearbook at the end of the school year. Students will also design and develop a summary page about the project for the printed yearbook that is distributed yearly.
