Summary
Horizon High School's TV production teacher, Mr. Gay, presented course objectives, student work and field experiences at the board meeting; students highlighted participation in a student media symposium and recognition at the Michigan Film Festival.
At the Hamtramck School District board meeting, Horizon High School’s TV production teacher, Mister Gay, described the class’s objectives — camera, lighting, sound and editing skills — and highlighted recent student activities and recognitions.
Mister Gay said students attend a statewide student media symposium for workshops and that the class participates in community projects with partners such as Detroit Riverfront and Hamtramck Public TV. Students described field trips including a Pistons studio visit that included a control room tour and a chance to go on court; the class also received awards at the Michigan Film Festival.
The teacher and students said they hope to expand opportunities, including a possible after‑school program and contributing more material to the local public TV station. “We learned a lot through that experience,” Mister Gay said, describing hands‑on workshops in podcasting, drone operation and social media production.
The presentation concluded with audience appreciation for the students’ work and a request to explore additional district support to broaden access to the course and its extracurricular offerings.
