Broadcast Experience at Day School
Evansville Day School offers a variety of unique Upper School courses, including broadcasting, broadcast journalism, and digital film, all taught by Kelly Ballard. As part of the broadcast class, students write, direct, and edit a weekly newscast, EDS News, with information from all three divisions of the school. Students actively work in front of the camera and behind the scenes in order to learn all aspects of producing a fun and informative school news program.

Many of our families are utilizing after care this year, and we have limited availability for drop in care. If you know you will need to utilize aftercare, arrangements should be made through the division head,
Robin Renschler, 24 hours in advance. Of course, we understand emergencies do arise, and we will do what we can do accommodate those on a case by case basis.
