There is something for everyone within the department:

Digital Media: (grades 10-12, one year course: .5 fine arts credit/.5 English elective credit) This is where the creative juices flow! Learn the ins and outs of a DSLR camera for shooting pictures and video. Gain real world experience creating video projects for “clients”. Digital Media students are responsible for a majority of the multimedia content of desmetmirror.com. This is a great intro course for underclassmen to learn skills such as photography, videography, editing, critical thinking, team work and story telling to advance to newspaper and yearbook.

Intro to Newswriting: (grades 10-12, one year English elective credit) Not quite ready to join the newspaper staff? No problem! Learn all of the basics here: News writing, Feature writing, Opinion writing, photography, team work. Great intro class for sophomores who want to move on to newspaper. Will become full-fledged newspaper staffers by second semester.
