The video program at Dearborn High has a thirty year history and was created by now retired Dearborn High teacher and founder of the legendary Grande Ballroom Russ Gibb.
This year students involved in the program won 3 Emmy Awards and were nominated for 5 others. Categories included long form, public service, animation/graphics, directing, editing, and cinematography. These dedicated students write, shoot, cast, edit, and promote these projects with enthusiasm.
WDHS Station Managers and students Madison Murdoch and Aya Zeid would like to acknowledge Dearborn Public Schools, the City of Dearborn, and friends & families of all students involved, with a special thanks for their support.
