Thanks to the generosity of the Lawton Public School Foundation, our Broadcasting and Digital Media Program at Eisenhower High School received a $3,500 grant that allowed us to completely transform both our learning environment and the way our students create content.
We used the funds to purchase a wide range of tools, from professional audio-visual equipment like microphones, cameras, and a livestream switcher, to essential studio elements such as lighting, monitors, and set décor. We even built a control room in our auditorium, giving students hands-on experience with livestream production for school events. Items like custom neon signs, faux plants, pillows, and cozy chairs helped us create an inviting and professional studio space where students feel proud to work.
This grant didn’t just provide equipment—it created opportunities. With these resources, students are now producing high-quality video content, learning real-world broadcasting skills, and collaborating in a space that mirrors the industry they hope to enter. They’ve gained confidence, taken creative risks, and found a sense of ownership in their work.
Because of this support, our students feel seen, empowered, and excited to learn. Thank you for making that possible.
