Central, Hillcrest students earn awards in media competition

(From Springfield Public Schools)


Central and Hillcrest high school media students competed at the Academy of Scholastic Broadcast 4-States Competition on Nov. 9-11. There, SPS students competed against 300 students from all over the Midwest in various media contests. 
Central High School won the Overall Sweepstakes Award at the contest, earned by having the most contests placed in by students from one school. 
"It is important for students to learn actively at competition because, without practical application of skills, students never really know what they are made of," said Josh Cantrell, broadcast journalism/film adviser at CHS. "The media industry is made up of deadlines, pressures and rigid expectations to deliver a product. By providing students with these types of learning experiences, they are experiencing, just one step closer, what it would be like to pursue media professionally, while having the opportunity to represent their school."

Hillcrest High School students also took first in two competitive events: Anchor Team, featuring students Brooke Blair, Madison Letterman and Garrett Cates, as well as Edit the Package, won by Gabby Deckard and Sarah Hale.
