Best Classes Ever

Video Production -- Taught by Mr. Bradford Benton Carr, this class provides a great insight into movies and all other areas of the media world. When given the opportunity to apply for this fun and entertaining class, there should be no thought involved, just do it. Mr. Carr is the nicest guy you will ever meet and the friendship you can make with him will last forever.
Panorama -- Another Media Arts class, this one is taught by Mr. Barry Fortune (otherwise known as the "seer of all"), this class delves into the massive depths of the journalism world. This is a class for everyone; all you need is a background in writing and Journalism 1, and Journalism 2. Fortune is one of the nicest guys ever, but like with all people, he has his dark side. Avoid it by not making him mad or lying to him. Respect Fortune and all the other students in the class. Plus if you are on staff, respect the Editors this year. I know them, and with their leadership this year’s paper could be great.
