This past fall and winter some students in the Video & Audio production program were able to obtain part time work as part of the broadcast team for local high school sports with Sportsnet Maine. One of those students, Calum Bryant, turned that opportunity into producing Maine Baseball games for the local ESPN affiliate. How cool is that? Here he is in the studio last weekend. What an amazing job to pick up while still in high school!


Check out our plumbing students getting some recognition on Channel 5! From Skills USA gold medalists to entering the workforce in their trade before even graduating high school, that's quite an accomplishment. Congrats!
