Bearwatch News

Students aren't just studying the news; they're reporting it!

You'll find them "on-air" interviewing school officials, community members, teachers, coaches, students, as well as "anchoring" from behind a desk. These budding newscasters run the show; from choosing a topic to scripting, filming, and editing, the students at BCHS are making the news!

The experience students gain while participating in this activity is immeasurable -- self-confidence, insight, and a thriving interest in current events, and much more. Here at BCHS, we strive to offer a variety of activities and opportunities for student participation in hopes that each student will find their niche. This confidence-building activity provides students with a viable career option when they leave high school and builds self-esteem. Students learn to operate sound equipment, develop interviewing skills, learn journalism techniques, master the arts of communicating, writing, planning, recording, and reporting the news in exciting and creative ways.

We are proud of their efforts and encourage you to tune in with us every day to catch up on events and happenings here at BCHS!
