We also stream/broadcast over 40 live shows each year. The work of the department is well known and respected throughout the district and the local business community.

Student opportunities

The Events Office staff is comprised primarily of high school students under the leadership and supervision of a seasoned professional staff. The work they perform is multi-faceted and includes the setup and operation of equipment to supply audio, lighting, visual presentation, video production, video streaming, television broadcasting, furniture, and décor. They are also involved with graphic design, video editing, animation, and sales and marketing.

Students perform authentic tasks in a real-world, work-based environment in which results matter. Through their experiences the students develop and exhibit critical thinking and problem-solving skills while gaining leadership qualities and learning teamwork dynamics. They also use technology to access, evaluate, and communicate information. The students participate through an elective class offering and have opportunities for paid work outside the school day and during the summer.
