The program includes all students at Austin-East in various ways. Here, students work
together to explore innovative ways to film the talk-show component of the program. |

Mr. Wilson, Digital Technology
instructor at Austin-East, teaches a video class each Fall. He has involved several of his former students as the film crew for the project. The students direct the video process for the weekly show that will be seen by all Austin-East students. |

A common complaint was that
students did not get to read about what was of interest to them.
Therefore, students were asked to write articles about subject
matter they care about. Here, students work together to
edit articles they are working on. |

As an incentive for full
participation, a contest is held each week based on the reading
activity. Winners are rewarded with a prize and also by
recognition on the Academically Correct bulletin board located
in the front of the high school. This photo is of three young
ladies who created an interpretive dance to poetry written by
students for the show. |

Involving the community in education is part of the Austin-East agenda for improving the school environment. Prominent community members have been asked to participate as readers for the program and they appear as guests on the weekly talk show. Here,
Vicki Lynn Wilson, a poet and Austin-East alum has lunch with
students to discuss her work. |
