PROGRAM VISION
Emerging Media and Communications Academy (EMAC) is a four year program that prepares students to become better communicators, a necessary life skill. EMAC focuses on communication careers in radio, television, film, web design, photography, magazine and newspaper/online reporting, and graphic design. Utilizing creative and rigorous education across our curriculum, we prepare students to be lifelong learners in a media-influenced society through meaningful, project-driven and traditional courses that blend subject-area learning with real world experiences. With a focus on global awareness, we work to educate the whole student. We instill strong journalistic ethics to seek truth, act independently, and minimize harm in order to achieve personal and academic goals.
The year 2012-13 will be the third year of the EMAC Academy providing media exploratory courses for freshmen while not requiring membership. Academy membership is for sophomores and juniors, who can join before the start of either year but must commit to an entire school year due to the fact that the curriculum calendar varies from general CHS classes. In each year of participation, students will produce a personal digital portfolio. |
