Student Leadership Group
Students in this pathway have opportunities to be leaders in their program. These students attend leadership training, planning and organizing and play a key role in managing and leading the publications and video programs. Decision making, relationship management, team bonding, communication and more are a direct result of this group of leaders. Students demonstrate their interest in being a leader by actively participating in all of the opportunities provided and then apply to be a part of the team. Students are then interviewed and chosen to be an editor or producer.

Video Production/DPNews, Publication Design/Yearbook, Photography
I am in my 18th year here at the best school on the central coast. I started the DPNews broadcast with Dan Yokubaitis in 2004 and it has grown to a program with live daily broadcasts, sports and live event streaming, where all students have an opportunity to gain valuable skills and experiences. In 2009 I added Yearbook to my repertoire, and have built a nationally recognized and celebrated publication.
