Broadcasting Student Music Video Wins National Recognition
“We knew her when...”
That’s what folks will say
about Sabin-Schellenberg’s
Broadcasting and Social Media student, Hope Alexander.
Hope, a senior at CHS was
awarded top honors for the
best music video at the 2014
All American High School
Film Festival, the premiere

It’s not everyday when a
high schooler can walk the
red carpet and premiere a
film in New York City, however that is exactly what
Hope, Sierra Bish, Calen
Coates, and CHS graduate
Katie Yates recently experienced. These SSC Broadcasting and Social Media students, along with over 1500
others attended the Festival
in New York, viewing original film clips from selections
representing topics as diverse
and imaginative as the students who created them. Of
the more than 1,000 entries
received from over 40 states
and 7 countries, only two
were chosen from Oregon
high school students; both
were filmed and submitted by
SSC Broadcasting and Social
Media students.
Hope’s music video, “Indecisions” was judged a winner by a mutlitude of actors,
producers, screenwriters and
directors, including Henry
Winkler, Kristen Stewart,
and Dylan McDermott.
Hope joined the ranks of
“future filmmakers who
restore your faith in the
future of cinema” according to Edward Burns, cast
member of Saving Private Ryan.

State University biologists and
Water Environment Services.
A PSU student later visited the
class, explaining how the survey
results will be used to determine
future actions to enhance
stream health. Students also
created tri-fold posters that will

Culinary Arts department finds itself
in full swing again. Hundreds of Intro
to Culinary students are learning safety
and sanitation in order to begin baking
and cooking safely and effectively. Year
One culinary students are sharpening
their skills as well as their knives so they
can begin creating incredibly composed
dishes and the Advanced students are
well on their way to running a successful
business.
Chef Karsten and Chef McCammon
are currently preparing Year One
students for involvement in the SSC
Culinary DECA chapter. Students are
busy creating and managing a virtual
restaurant business that will be used to
compete against students all across the
state.
The Advanced students at the Sabin
campus have opened and begun serving
out of the Verte’ Deli. Students are
developing a rotating menu of daily
specials and soups as well as a menu
catered to serve students in other
programs. Keep Verte’ deli in mind for
events you may have coming up, as the
students will gladly cater your event with

Health Services Program
Inspires Future Medical Professionals
Advanced Health Services intern students pose in their scrubs
Health Services was honored as an
exemplary career and technical education
program with the ODE’s Bright Star
award during 2014. Currently over 500
students participate in the program,
which spans a four year curriculum
consisting of five courses.
Inclusive of all facets of the healthcare field, Standards of Professionalism
are covered before delving into specific
health care industry courses like human
development, medical terminology and
health care law. Most students enroll
in the program’s internship option by
their senior year, which places qualifying
students on-site in real-life healthcare
environments.
For valued volunteer experience
students participate in the “Rebels” or
the “Scrub Club”. The Rebels is an AntiTobacco public service program, taking
part in local and national events, while the
Scrub Club is a student-run leadership
component of the program. Both groups
give back to the community through
volunteerism. After hearing the cry for
help over the bare cupboards at North

this fall. Jackye Doyle, an 8-year
instructor in the program points out,
“This program gives students the
opportunity to gain confidence, build a
skill set, and take what they have learned
out into communities.”
Students find the opportunity to
earn 10 college and 10 internship
credits through the program appealing.
“It’s been great to be able to learn the
real-life situations and have a better
understanding of what I would be doing
before spending the money trying to
figure it out in college.” said CHS senior
Ashley Filler.
According to Assistant Principal Suzie
Peachin, “There is a high percentage of
students in this program that end up
going to college or entering a healthrelated field. This is part of the district’s
vision for students. At the very least,
students are able to walk out the door
with a real direction, and potentially in
a field they already have a skill set for.”
Reflecting on her own career, instructor
Lyn Gray (who was herself a student in
the program 20 years ago) comments,
“This was the direction for me after
taking the courses: I got my RN, had
my career with that, and then came
back to share my passion for this
industry with the students.”
Senior Riely Mitchell agrees, “My
dad is a doctor and I’ve now seen
first-hand the medical environment
in a real-life setting. I will definitely
go into this industry too.”
