Spectrum News Casting High School Students
They are looking for students from local high schools to compete against students from another school in a different state. GPA isn't as important as them having an outgoing personality and an interest in national and world news headlines.
Below is a link to the casting information and submission form along with a 2:30 minute preview video of the show.
Please share this with our students and if anyone is interested, please notify the office.
