High School Media
What began as an Entrepreneurship, Yearbook, and Digital Design & Marketing Media program; one that quickly became one of the most successful and in-demand programs on campus, has grown into something even bigger.
With the addition of our Broadcast Journalism (GCTV) program, we’ve expanded opportunities for students to tell stories in new and powerful ways. In just a short time, this program has exceeded expectations in both student interest and the quality of work being produced.
These programs have become some of the most popular on campus, preparing students with real-world, future-ready skills in communication, storytelling, design, and media production.
Students are working with cutting-edge tools and curriculum that rival collegiate-level programs
What’s even more remarkable is that programs like this are rare, especially within private schools. We are not just participating in this space, we are leading it.
And perhaps most importantly, these are skills that matter for every student. Whether they pursue business, science, the arts, or anything in between, the ability to communicate, create, and tell compelling stories will set them apart.
