Announcements undergo minor changes
By Ashley Falcon
First semester, the Repertory Theatre class did the morning announcements. This semester they have decided not to participate. This decision has allowed other students to apply for anchor positions on the announcements.
Initially 28 people were interested in the anchor positions, but there are currently six anchors recording during period two. One of the major requirements to become an anchor is a student must have a period two study hall.

“We want the announcements to be professional and a good learning experience for students,” director Mark “Doc” Miller said.
News segments have developed with the start of the new decade. As prom approaches, the junior class council is working with the news to keep juniors informed about important prom updates with a segment called “Prom Prep.” Other segments include the “Panther Sports Report,” “Panther Spirit Break” and “Kicks and Flicks.”
“The announcements are getting better,” junior Jasmine James said. “During my freshman year the announcements were the best.”
Jeremy Simpson edits the recorded segment to create the final production that is viewed by students. The length of the announcements is limited to five minutes.
