This staff’s combined talent coupled with that the school’s creative students and faculty have allowed us to produce award winning videos recognized for covering Social Issues, their use within Public Relations, and for their artistic value with Videography/Cinematography, Editing, and Art Direction. The highest award given is a Silver Telly and the Learning Resource Center has received 9 Bronze and 1 Silver during the past 3 years.
