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:

  • 1st Place – Crazy 8 Morning Show (RaiderVision) Watch here
