STUDENT SHOWCASE

SOPTV HONORS EXCEPTIONAL SOUTHERN OREGON STUDENTS

SOPTV Student ShowcaseSOPTV has produced a series of local short segments that showcase exceptionally gifted students from our viewing area. The segments are not intended to be a ‘talent’ show, but demonstrate the efforts of the local teachers to enhance the talents of their students. Ralph Bowman, a retired Drama and Video Production Teacher, has joined SOPTV to produce, direct, and edit the segments for regularly scheduled broadcast.

Peter Sage, a long-time supporter and previous board member of SOPTV, provided initial funding for the series. It is hoped that funding will be found to feature students from the other counties that SOPTV serves — Josephine, Douglas, Klamath, and Curry counties.
