2 students from Brookland High School’s First year Digital Cinema class win a national award from the Student Television Network. Senior, Hayden Coleman assisted by sophomore, EthanHamilton placed 4th in the national STN challenge after only 3 months in the class.
On November 2nd the topic given to them by STN was called “Crossing the Divide”. The Video was a feature package where the students were given only 6 days to complete the package. The students chose their assistant Principal, Bobby Gross who also serves as the Brookland Athletic Director and the Head Boys Basketball Coach. The story features how Bobby Gross is able to divide his time and personality between his 3 jobs and his family. The story requirements had to feature an in-depth look at a particular subject, event, or location that kept the audience’s attention throughout, delivering a compelling narrative to create a lasting impression. The entry had to be 3 minutes or less. STN received over 500 entries across the nation. Receiving first place was Alcalanes High School in LaFayette, California; Second place was John Burrows High School in Burbank, California; third place was Immaculata-La Salle High School in Miami, Florida; fourth place was Brookland High School from Brookland, Arkansas; fifth place was Gullivar Preparatory School in Miami, Florida.
