Video Broadcasting Programs Wins First Place Award

Huntington High School’s Video Broadcasting program classes recently attended this year’s Broadcast Alliance for Senior High Awards and walked away with a first place trophy.

Known as the BASH Awards, the event put on display the creativity and ingenuity. “The day was filled with collaboration with broadcast programs throughout Long Island and Westchester, breakout sessions to further their broadcast knowledge and ended in an awards ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments this year,” said Kristen Temperino, Huntington’s video broadcasting teacher.

Huntington High School students captured first place for their Art, Entertainment and Culture Feature package. “This package highlighted the annual fashion show and all the work that goes into preparing for it.”

The package was created by Huntington juniors Grayson Dunn and Anastasia Sarducci.
