Stories have ranged from an interview with Northport High School Principal Daniel Danbusky to discuss school closures to “Senior Spotlights.”
These students, along with their advisors, Danielle Milazzo and Debra Cavaliere, meet twice a week digitally via Google Meets to brainstorm, plan and create content. They even gained new staff members after reaching out to the school community via social media. Those new members have already created articles and videos, and are working on future podcasts.
