Home > On Air and On Point: Broadcast Teams Shine at STN Convention
Our Middle and Upper School broadcast teams returned from the Student Television Network (STN) National Convention with remarkable achievements. The STN National Convention is a thrilling, fast-paced event where students from across the country compete in various media production contests. Over the course of three days, our teams worked tirelessly, facing surprise prompts each morning and diving into a wide range of categories, including News, Weather, Entertainment, Commercial, Human Interest, Arts & Culture and the coveted Crazy 8 Morning Show category.
Their dedication, creativity, and teamwork were on full display as they took on each challenge head-on. Whether navigating tight deadlines or brainstorming innovative concepts, our students showed incredible perseverance and skill throughout the event. We’re so proud to announce that RaiderVision secured 1st place in the Crazy 8 Morning Show Category, and our Middle School secured 3rd place! This category is the toughest category to compete in as students are given just eight hours to produce a morning show with an anchor duo that includes segments in weather, feature, commercial and more.
Both Raider Student Network (RSN) and RaiderVision brought home top honors for work submitted during the STN convention:

Transformation. Together. 2026. formally launched in May 2022, and, in October 2022, we opened the Center for Student Life at our Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus. This 60,000 square foot facility was the first new building to be constructed as part of our capital campaign, and is at the heart of student life and learning. In March 2023, the Tennis Complex officially opened, marking the completion of Phase II.
With Phase III in progress, Phase IV pending fundraising, and Phase V on the horizon, we continue to make steady progress toward our campus transformation at the Upper School Campus.
