North Attleborough High’s Student Media Program Takes Off

From Books to Broadcast: North Attleborough High’s Student-Run Media Takes Off

At North Attleborough High School, students are doing more than just reading the morning announcements—they're producing them. What started as a small initiative tied to the school’s English department has blossomed into a student-led broadcast and media program that’s earning attention beyond the classroom. With cameras rolling, mics clipped, and editing software open, students are gaining hands-on experience in storytelling and journalism that’s changing the way the school connects.

The program, which now airs weekly video segments and features student-produced interviews, sports recaps, and school news, is quickly becoming a point of pride for the school community. Faculty members say the program has given students a platform to lead, create, and amplify their voices in meaningful ways. Students write their own scripts, shoot footage, edit segments, and even handle behind-the-scenes production—skills that mirror what’s happening in professional newsrooms and media studios.

More than just a tech-forward elective, the initiative is also helping students develop confidence and build collaborative skills. Teachers note improved communication, critical thinking, and a deeper investment in school culture. And the results are resonating: videos are shared on social media, featured during assemblies, and even discussed by town residents proud of the growing talent.

As the student media team looks ahead, they’re aiming to expand their coverage to include community stories, local businesses, and perhaps even regional news. With support from the school district and interest from neighboring schools, North Attleborough High’s broadcast team is proving that when students lead the story, everyone listens.
