Want to check out Video Equipment?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE AUDIO-VISUAL CENTER AND VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIO

The AV Center offers a wide selection of equipment for use for school related projects. Students may check out projectors, cameras, video equipment, tape recorders, etc., provided they have an equipment release form signed by their parents assuming responsibility if the item is lost or damaged. Students and staff must sign up in advance to reserve equipment. Equipment that has been reserved should be picked up in the AV Editing Room at the end of the school day and returned before the start of the next school day. Failure to return equipment on time will result in fines being incurred. Use of the AV room by students, staff, and classes is by appointment only.
