“Their PSA is being used in schools around the country to help teens learn about issues such as vaping,” said their teacher, Mike Reilly. “We take great pride in our fully produced, filmed, scripted, and edited projects in our video production class and it is obviously noticeable to many around the country as we have won or placed in several national competitions. With New York being the media capital of the world, and with continuous growth in the media field, our students are certainly having an opportunity to explore these avenues.”
