Students can enter the program in grades 9 or 10 and are required to take two media classes each year in addition to their regular academic subjects. The Media Program is both progressive and cooperative. What students learn in lower level courses is used as a foundation for higher level classes. All of the program areas constantly work together to produce materials and programs to benefit both the media students and the school as a whole. All students have lab and studio training which stress basic competency skill levels.
Students have opportunities for part time work and internships.
Students gain career awareness from guest lecturers and field trips to local businesses and universities. When you receive your school application, select West Roxbury High School as your first choice. Then you can choose the Media Communications Technology Program as your major at W.R.H.S.
