Herricks High School teacher Chris Brogan attended the Herricks Board of Education meeting to make a presentation on the TV Studio program he oversees at the high school but got more than he expected – high praise.
“I think the world of him,” Superintendent of Schools John Bierworth said. “He has done amazing things with these students.”
Brogan’s program incorporates students in producing high-quality programs for cable television companies such as Verizon Fios and Cablevision, Bierworth said.
The studio produces video of the schools football games, concerts and graduation ceremonies, he said.
“He’s done an amazing job running the program with barely any funding, Bierworth said. “If we had the money, we would give it to him.”
He said that while Brogan’s program is an educational opportunity for students Brogan ensures that the programs are of the highest quality for the television stations.
“There’s a pretty high level of production quality that the stations expect,” Bierworth said.
