Cypress Woods earned the distinction for its monthly show, CDub Today. Each submission was judged and scored by professionals who have multiple years of experience in the TV and film industry. Judges evaluated entries using a rubric with a potential maximum score of 100. To receive the gold distinction, submissions had to score between 90 and 100.
“Achieving the gold standard last year was an incredible milestone, but this group of students were determined to prove it wasn’t a one-time achievement,” said Lori Andrade, Cypress Woods AVP teacher. “They have worked tirelessly to uphold the quality of our broadcast while pushing themselves to grow and innovate. Their dedication, creativity and perseverance have truly set them apart. This year, we had the opportunity to attend the STN Convention and walk across the stage to receive the award, making the achievement even more meaningful. Seeing their hard work recognized on such a big stage had an incredible impact on my students, reinforcing their passion for storytelling and commitment to excellence. I couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve accomplished.”
Per STN rules, all entries must be entirely student-produced. STN is a national organization that supports, promotes and recognizes excellence in scholastic broadcast journalism, creative video, filmmaking and media convergence.
