Stoll explains plans for the future broadcasting class

As 2020 closes in, the Broadcasting class will be getting a completely new look. In the Fall of 2020, classes from grades 7-12 will be merged into one school. This has given Mr. David Stoll,  Journalism and Broadcasting teacher at Worthington Christian High School, the opportunity to expand upon the Broadcasting class after setting the foundation for the past two years. He explains that "it's been a long time coming and I just consider myself to be extremely blessed to have that opportunity to really expand the broadcast program."

With this in mind he has been thinking about how he wants to make the class work. He mentions that in other schools where these classes are a bit older they have "built into the program many different steps." As of right now he only has students in grades 9-12, but when the extra two grades are added, it raises the question of if he should include them or not. He goes on to say "right now the opportunities are great because we don't have that many students." With the class being so small and new, he states "we kinda throw you to the wolves a little bit and say here ya go! You got this, we believe in you!"

The current production is all within a few feet of each other. The new Broadcasting room will be about the same size as the current one. With the new building, there will be multiple spaces dedicated for specific tasks that make the broadcast work.

The WC broadcasting team does a live broadcast every morning to the school making announcements and talking about current and upcoming events. In addition, they have broadcasted over 11 live events ranging from basketball games and concerts, to graduation. At WC there are many gifted students. This is no exception when it comes to the broadcasting team. Stoll often jokes "I have tried to legitimately fail students just to hold onto them longer, but it hasn't worked out so far."
