AV Club – Creativity Meets Technology
The AV Club is a community where students combine their creativity and technical skills to explore the art of cinema, produce original films, broadcast live events, and build lasting friendships along the way. Our activities are designed to give students hands-on experience in every aspect of audio-visual
production:

● Monthly Movies: Members watch and study films, analyzing artistic, technical, and
practical elements to better understand the craft of cinema.
● Film Production: Each semester, students collaborate to create an original short
film—an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in class and from the films we study.
● Walker Valley Live: A dedicated group of AV Club members gain real-world
broadcasting experience by producing live coverage of school sports, concerts,
theatrical performances, and other events. Many of our students have gone on to pursue careers in broadcasting, both locally and abroad. Beyond technical skills, AV Club emphasizes teamwork, creativity, and personal growth. Students gain valuable real-world experiences while having fun and forming meaningful
friendships.

• Service – Supporting our school and community through projects like teacher thank-you cards and supply drives.

• Optimism – Celebrating growth, creativity, and the joy of working toward careers in education.

The National FFA Organization, formerly known as Future Farmers of America, is a youth leadership organization that plays a vital role in agricultural education. Founded in 1928, FFA’s mission is to prepare members for leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. While its roots are in farming, today FFA covers a wide range of industries, including animal science, plant science, mechanics, business, and technology, reflecting the diverse opportunities within agriculture. With more than 900,000 members nationwide, FFA is one of the largest student-led organizations in the United States.

FFA helps students by providing hands-on experiences that connect classroom learning to real-world applications. Members can participate in Career Development Events (CDEs) and Leadership Development Events (LDEs), where they practice skills such as public speaking, problem-solving, and teamwork. Students also develop responsibility and business management skills through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs), which allow them to apply what they have learned in class to projects such as raising livestock, starting a small business, or working in an agricultural job. These opportunities help students build confidence and develop practical skills that benefit them long after graduation.

Beyond career skills, FFA also fosters personal growth and leadership. Members attend leadership camps, state conventions, and the National FFA Convention, where they network with peers from across the country and meet industry leaders. Students learn to take initiative, work with others, and serve their communities through volunteer projects and chapter activities. By encouraging involvement, leadership, and responsibility, FFA equips students with the tools to succeed not only in agricultural careers but in any path they choose.
