CTV |
Each day begins with a live broadcast from CTV into each homeroom throughout the school. In the studio, students work together to deliver important announcements, highlight school activities, and report the forecast, lunch choices, and birthdays. Students work both behind, and in front of, the cameras. Videos presented on the show may feature a school event, and are often created and submitted by students. The morning news helps to keep our school community connected and informed. |

This student-led competition involves teams of 7-10 students that perform in up to 23 different STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) events.
