Welcome to a new school year!


Welcome To Eagle TV!

Eagle TV is the award-winning broadcasting program here at South Cobb High School and we're really excited to start a new year full of new adventures and REACHING FOR THE STARS!

I hope that you stay tuned to the blog and check out what projects we're working on and news from our studio.

Students in this program learn how to write, interview, shoot video, edit, produce and broadcast all genres of programs, primarily news. Teamwork is essential as well as a strong work ethic. Deadlines are non-negotiable, so students must keep themselves on track and keep producing amazing work. Because of our dedication to our program and our pursuit of excellence, we have garnered three National Student Award of Excellence Awards and two Honorable Mentions from the Southeastern National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (the same people who award the Emmy awards) and three Student Television Network Awards.

We produce numerous community projects through the year in addition to our regular curriculum and students have opportunities to work in the field with professionals every once in a while.

For the past 5 years, a select group of Eagle TV students have attended the national Student Television Network Convention in early spring where they network with news professionals, their peers, take part in rigorous competitions and participate in numerous break out sessions.

The students' experiences build on each other year after year and there is certainly a sense of purpose, ownership and pride in being part of Eagle TV. Let's make this the best year yet!

  3. This year will be a better year. There are more students in the program this year,which means more ideas. Also more determined students. This year will be nothing less if not more then the passed years.

  7. Hopefully, this year will be just as good as others, perhaps even better. That's what we are all aiming for right? I know I'm probably one of the lowest knowledge in broadcasting, but I want to take a shot, and learn from others.
