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.
