Video Production and Broadcast Program
With the help of a federal grant and the leadership of video production teacher Kevin Walsh, WBHS was able to construct a studio complete with a green screen along with professional-level lighting and audio equipment, including many editing bays for student use. The new classroom/studio opened in 2002. The expansion of the program continued to accommodate more students offering a Video Journalism class which paved the way for a number of student-created productions, some of which aired on WBTV, channel 19, local channel of the West Bloomfield School District. By 2005 the video department had students actively engaged in event-broadcast style recordings of the school's plays and theater performances (as well as sporting events and others), making the recording available to students and parents on DVD format within days. In 2005, the first live student-produced show aired on WBTV during primetime. The Spectrum Show, produced and hosted by students Eric Maniloff and Matt Moss, aired at 8pm on May 18th, 2005. Also, 2005 marked the first time in school history that the senior class video was duplicated and distributed in digital DVD format.

Famous quotes containing the words video, production, broadcast and/or program:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)

“O Jesse had a wife, a mourner all her life
And the children they were brave,
But the dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
He laid Jesse James in his grave.”
